Global hitmaker Bryan Adams is adding his voice to opposition over new federal regulations on streaming.
The “Cuts Like a Knife” and “All For Love” singer released a video on social media saying elements of the Online Streaming Act would make it harder for Canadian musicians to break through globally.
Federal Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge says she's glad Adams jumped into the debate but disputes his description of the rule as "a streaming tax." “This is what the legislation that we passed is intended for — it's to help local Canadian artists both get better pay and also get discovered on these streaming platforms.”
St-Onge described the call for streamers to help fund Canada's creative ecosystem "a base contribution" that homegrown companies have been making for years.– With files from Alessia Passafiume in OttawaForm Energy, a company that is beginning to produce a longer-lasting alternative to lithium batteries, hit a milestone Wednesday with an announcement of $405 million in funding.
