Talk:Canadian content

message: This page is titled Canadian content, but it has information on Australian content. Why not rename this page to Local content, and then have a heading and info for Canadian content and Australian content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Foley  (talk • contribs) 20:18, 16 August 2003 (UTC)

replies: text: You're replying to a comment that was posted here three years ago, before the article was expanded. It consisted of two sentences at the time, one of which was the Australian one. So the comment made sense at the time; the article's just been improved significantly since then. Bearcat 18:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I find the following surprising: " The French-language networks, both public and private, also rely largely on Canadian series, relying on dubbed American movies - with a handful of dubbed series - for most of their foreign content." Why don't they buy programmes from France? Merchbow 06:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For many of the same reasons that English Canadian and American commercial networks don't turn to British or Australian imports very often: it's coming from a different cultural frame of reference, and spoken in a different dialect of the language, so it doesn't always translate to the somewhat insular North American audience very effectively. It's not entirely unknown for Quebec networks to import a program or two from France once in a while, but it's far rarer than you might think. Bearcat 06:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Most American shows aired in the French Canadian market are translated in France. It is usual to hear Paris slang when listen to a US made show or movie. L'Union des Artistes (the major union in the Quebec showbusiness industry) is fighting to get more and more translation done in Montreal, but some people complaint the French language spoken in Québec is not good enough. On another hand, another groupe said the French (and the parisians, in particular) have the bad habit to be trendy by using too much english words in the french dialact. So, it exists a quite political debate on what's the International French language.  Also, the French Canadian daily life is in North American. So, most of the references (cars, climate, housing, food...) are shared with English Canada and the United States. In Quebec, the French movies get better exposure (mostly on speciality channels) rather than TV shows. Barraclou.com 03:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, in the last years, French Canadians have rather bought some French show concepts (Tout le monde en parle, L'école des fans...) and staffed it with local talents to make it sound more local. Barraclou.com 19:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Programming from France

message: In a small section  at the Ryerson History web page for Canadian Television was this item, from the 1970's history section.

In August, CRTC gave CTV an ultimatum, demanding stepped-up Canadian content in the 1980 - 81 season with a further increase for the rest of its five-year licence renewal. Furthermore, this increase would have to apply after 8:00 pm, and the Commission wanted more programming that would reflect the cultural life of Quebec to the rest of Canada, as well as more shows directed at children. http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/index3.php

thread_title: Quebec(Francophone) 'Content' on English Television 'Content'

message: I removed and reworded a large chunk of the controversy section as the section itself had been flagged with bias. there were some language and claims that clearly pointed to section towards a bias point of view.
questioning artists talent has no place in canadian content and is clearly bias. hopefully the new wording represents both sides better by not pointing out any one band in particular or implying cancon is decided based on talent or perceived talent. 
i also believe that there could be some citations added to the other claims in the controversy section about indie pool and the canadian association of broadcasters. im currently looking for citations for those but if anyone has them i think it would be nice to have them or else its hard to leave them due to lack of evidence.

message: How do you get this paged liked to the disambiguation page on the term CAN-CON?
Can-con
Or should a new disambiguation page be created for "Can Con"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farrellmcgovern (talk • contribs) 17:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Full disclosure: I created our article on the beaver hour, back in 2005 when Wikipedia's content and sourcing standards were very different than they are now. In the decade since, however, both our content standards and my own understanding of the best way to present a topic have evolved significantly from where they were at the time — so I now believe that the concept doesn't really need its own independent article, but should simply be briefly discussed in this article as an aspect of Canadian content rather than as a standalone title. Does anybody else have any input? Bearcat (talk) 17:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Support Make sense to me to merge them. Meters (talk) 21:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Support: It seems like a sensible solution. A quick web search I performed earlier today shows few online sources for the term "beaver hour" (I added one as a ref to that article), though I'm sure there must be a few offline sources. Mindmatrix 22:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Support and comment that I've never before heard the term "beaver hour".  Sounds like a triple-x film title actually ;-)...an old joke I know.  And yeah, have "content and sourcing standards" ever changed....more and more strict and unyielding and prone to abuse and conflation/instruction creep.
