Canada 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.

The 15% "TAX" headline is COMPLETE LIE. A misrepresentation - READ THE ARTICLE. It is NOT a TAX but a requirement that streamers spend 15% of Canadian revenue to PURCHASE or CREATE CANADIAN CONTENT. This is a Canadian content law. NOT A TAX.

these concepts have been discussed to curb tanking:
First-round draft picks can be protected only for top-four or top-14-plus selections
Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date
No longer allowing a team to pick in the top four in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-three finishes
Teams can't pick in the top four the year after making the conference finals
Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records
Lottery extended to include all play-in teams
Flatten odds for all lottery teams
