The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

That's all good.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

You know, I didn't know that, but I'm a longstanding Hawks fan dating back to Steve Largent and Jim Zorn.

The Loonie Hour

So it's been pretty great.

Our second Super Bowl.

I do see a Go Habs Go sign in the back there.

I got to have some Leafs thing here somewhere.

The Loonie Hour

So there's plenty of space for people to gloat the other way too, I suppose.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

Yeah, well, my candid view would be that there are at least, we could broadly take the film and television production sector in Canada and put them into two buckets.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

And there's lots of room at the edges to take issue with this.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

But there is one sector that sees a global opportunity from streamers and are like, this is a golden age.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

We've got all these large producers that, in the form of streamers,

The Loonie Hour

that are willing to fund great productions and give us global exposure and a global platform.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

Let me jump in and compete.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

I think I can create something great.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

We have another segment, and this is sort of the more long-standing segment, that has always existed primarily on the basis of a regulated sector that mandated cross-industry subsidies, where you've got certain groups, let's say broadcasters, that would help fund the creation.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

And the name of the game wasn't necessarily global success, although that would be perfectly nice.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

It was simply to make stuff.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

And so that regulated space where there's what they would see as a virtuous circle of broadcasters need some of our content because regulations say they need some of our content.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

So they will help fund that content.

The Loonie Hour
Canada's State Surveillance Bill - w/ guest Michael Geist

We will help make it.
