Head of CBC compares Netflix to colonialism, Feb. 1

Finally, someone is standing up for Canadian Culture. Let us all give thanks to Catherine Tait, CBC president, for speaking up about too much outside influence on Canadian culture.

I have been waiting many years for someone to take pride in what Canada has to offer and to say so publicly. We don’t need outside culture, much of which is a bad influence.

Kudos to Catherine Tait for warning us to be vigilant against cultural imperialism by companies like Netflix.

A similar cautioning was given to us by the U.S. Justice Department last week about Huawei’s technological colonialism. History shows us the integrity of both is essential to the progress and evolution of a nation.

We have the privilege to choose or regulate, sans xenophobia, that which fits our best interests, be entertainment or technology.
