It's a free market. Of course, the US will have a lot more companies coming into Canada than the other way around in tech. It has 10x the population and massive amount of capital. So, yes, you are correct Canada is not competitive against the USA in that matter.
Though, i'd argue it has nothing to do with the fact that they should be taxed appropriately in Canada. It replaces revenue from TV distribution that was appropriately taxed. Similar discussion to whether we should tax robots labour i think.
Also, I think countries have the right to promote their own culture. That might be hard to see from the POV of the country who's culture is slowly boulderizing that of the rest of the planet.
It's easy to understand when most popular streaming services here are foreign owned and have created a terrible image for themselves by producing barely any tax revenue for the country.
I disagree on your conclusion. I think there are certain ways of explaining your point of view amongst an ambiguous crowd.
Monologues can easily be boring. They are hard to put together for most people and you have to have implied consent from the crowd to be monologued. People don't like to be forced to be polite to listen to anyone for more than 30 seconds.
But there are certain ways of conversing where you have time to explore deeper. Unfortunately, not everyone is open to conversation for the sake of argument.
I think that the best way of speaking about these things is not to refer to Joe Rogan but to speak ideas irrespective of who is behind. Some have a certain reaction when AOC is mentioned while others have the same reaction regarding Rogan.
If you are in those circles, speak of ideas, not people.
You could certainly see it that way but I think he's saying that it was dissected, meaning thoroughly examined (debated?). That being said I did not read that original thread.
The USA has a prime example of what would happen if they removed the patriot act, that is shipbuilding industry in Canada. The industry need doesn't sustain itself at those costs and Canada's cost for labour are much lower than the US's.
We are trying to reboot the industry here and I am not kidding when I say it will take 2-4 decades so I can only imagine what the US will lose if they give up the Jones act.
5700 pounds of pressure per square inch. Ouch.
