World News@lemmy.world•Canada is imposing a 15% tax on streaming services to support local contentEnglish
91·25 days agoCanada has had good local content laws for a few decades now. Because of the local content law in radio and television, we got Celion Dion and Bieber and Drake. Prior to that all the music was American or British. We have a lot of local shows now. It’s always cheaper for broadcasters/streamers to buy a license than ask someone to make/produce shows and buy them. This forces them to source locally and give local talent a chance.

World News@lemmy.world•Gen. Wesley Clark: Iran has the advantage over US in negotiationsEnglish
45·2 months agoTo back away now would leave Iran as the new hegemon in the region. We would face profound economic and strategic consequences as the petrodollar is rerouted to China, and the Gulf states realign their loyalties, policies and investments.
This would impact us with mounting interest rates, inflation and slower growth. U.S. credibility as an ally and global force would be shattered. Withdrawing from NATO would only deepen the problem.
This war has fucked the US over.
