Guest, with access to the internet, 60% foreign content on Canadian radio stations and the fact that most of the the Canadian population is in southern Canada and radiowaves know no borders, Canadian's have no problem with exposure to music content other than Canadian.

But there is a problem with the amount of Shania Twain and Celine Dion with which they are bombarded or just how many golden oldies of Leonard Cohen and the Guess Who that is poured upon them.

The proposal could address this in some manner and I am willing to run the risk of listening to some lame stuff, in order to give younger musicians, independant talent and musicians unsigned by major lables more of an opportunnity to strut their stuff.

You could very well be correct that Canadians penalize success, but they also seem to have no time for their young either.
