The letter argued that Canada’s radio regulations were designed to address the problems created by its vast geography, its “linguistic duality” (English and French), and the fact that space on analog radio is limited, making decisions about what gets broadcast necessary.

Citation needed DiMA. Way to try framing the issue to look in your favour.

Instead of those "issues" we now have locked down apps and opaque algorithms that reduce user control.

To be fair I have found some good stuff through the recommendations, but I also don't know how often they try to boost certain artists because of back room deals. Companies need regulations to keep them slightly honest.

My understanding was always that Canadian media is dominated by American creations in the art world. The regulations were put in place to subsidize the Canadian artists to help create a national identity separate from the US.
