How Canadian content on streaming platforms became a trade issue with the U.S.

The ongoing trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. has expanded beyond traditional issues like dairy and car parts to include the promotion and funding of Canadian content on American streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney Plus. This conflict stems from Canada's insistence that these services, which are popular across its borders, should adhere to local cultural content quotas. This move matters because it reflects Canada's efforts to protect its cultural industries and ensure that local creators get a fair shot at exposure. The implications could reshape how international streaming services operate, especially in terms of content regulation and cultural preservation.
