I don't understand why streaming should support radio ? They should support artists and new artist via taxes though, that makes total sense.

But the radio ..?

Because streaming is international while radio is local.

If international sites wanna play their music in Canada, then they should pay for the privilege.

I don't understand why streaming services need to help radio stations. Are radio station sharing their profit as well ?

Under those rules, streaming services that are not Canadian-owned and have more than CAD $25 million (approx. USD $18.5 million) in revenue in Canada annually are required to pay 5% of that revenue into funds that subsidize Canadian content and creators.

They always have.

And this **isn't ** about streaming services helping radio stations, its about supporting Canadian content creators.
