Canada could be on the cusp of a bizarre new era in which federal regulators will be empowered to figure out whether our online porn is sufficiently Canadian — and levy the requisite punishments if it isn’t.
Bill C-11 — the Liberal push to subject much of the internet to CRTC control — has passed the House of Commons with NDP and Bloc Québécois support. Absent any major revisions by the Senate, the likes of Netflix, YouTube and even Instagram will soon be forced to subject their content to Canada’s famously onerous strictures on Canadian content.
But less discussed is how Bill C-11 will also apply to the internet’s vast wilderness of streaming pornography. The legislation applies to all programs broadcast via “online undertaking.”
The most controversial aspect of Bill C-11 is how it would force online streamers to “ensure the discoverability of Canadian programming.”
Right now, YouTube uses complex algorithms to pair users with content they might find interesting. Under C-11, those algorithms would be tweaked by federal mandate to disproportionately pair users with content that regulators have deemed to be sufficiently Canadian. Non-Canadian content, meanwhile, would need to be artificially hidden. As to what content qualifies as Canadian, everything from Netflix feature films to basement YouTubers would need to submit to the CRTC’s onerous “points system.” Under the system — which is already mandatory for TV channels — content creators must file detailed budgets with the CRTC to prove minimum quotas of Canadian actors, Canadian crew and even the quantity of production costs that were verifiably spent in Canada.

I am old enough to remember the Meese Commission back in the 1980s, thinking if Ed Meese readily volunteered to review porn for President Reagan. 😂
Back when SCTV was a popular show in Canada (early 80's), the Canadian government said shows created and produced in the country had to have some form of Canadian content with Canadian actors.
So SCTV came up with Doug and Bob McKenzie where 2 of the show's Canadian performers made fun of the Canadian culture. Sooory. The government was not happy, eh?

I enjoy the maple syrup scenes.
Or a mountie hat
Probable to stop overseas underage porn, like coming from Russia. Best thing to do is to ban it out right. Porn is a cancer and should be banned. Only sick people with mental problems view porn.
And then there’s this

Is this real life?
Too cold in Canada for nudity.
The chocks are out from under the wheels. Gonna be a crazy weekend.
1. Instead being spread with Swiss whipped cream, genitals must now be spread with Canadian maple syrup.
2. Instead of wearing Nazi SS uniforms, dominatrix's must now wear Canadian Mountie uniforms.
3. Instead of being anally raped with baseball bats, gay men must now be anally raped with hockey sticks.
4. Instead of featuring lion costumes, furry fetish videos must now feature moose costumes.
Take off! Eh?

How faggy will it have to be to pass muster?
Exactly...and lumberjacks and canoes.
Eh, there’s a ton of hot chicks in Montréal...
This is too funny for words.
I can just picture the “regulators” sitting all day in front of a screen watching porno and...
Canada is a lost cause.
You doubt? Take a look at Biden's administration... power flows from color and kink...
