Most Canadians don’t think twice about watching a Hollywood movie, binging a Netflix original series, or scrolling on a Meta social media platform, like Instagram or Facebook. Consuming American content has become second nature to us. 

In our season two finale, we sit down with Marla Boltman, the Executive Director of Friends of Canadian Media to discuss the fight to protect Canadian media in an era dominated by U.S. tech giants. Marla shares her journey from working at a video store as a teenager to becoming a lawyer and policy advocate, explaining how her passion for Canadian content and cultural sovereignty led her to take on this critical role.

As we navigate a rapidly changing media landscape and export relationship with our southern neighbour this conversation is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of Canadian news, content creation, and storytelling.
