I don't deny that Canadian musicians have been extremely successful, I just would struggle to credit CanCon for that. Most of the artists you mention that were successful did so by moving to the States and signing with big American music labels.

It's 35% Canadian by law. Perhaps you think that because there is such a large proportion of world-famous Canadian musicians anyways.

I wouldn't attribute that to CanCon. Canada has always punched above its weight in that regard. Most of the artists they play the most (Bieber, Drake, The Weekend, etc.) became famous by promoting their stuff online and by signing with big labels in the USA. There were plenty of Canadian music icons before the rules also.
CanCon is just a way of our government giving more handouts to all the legacy media corporations who would otherwise fail.

There is a law that a certain percentage has to be CanCon (Canadian content). There are top 40 stations but they have to abide by these rules.

It's an incredible album. That and Carmelita are two of my favourite songs ever.
