On the CAN CON.



CAN CON = Canadian Content = 2 in out of 3 to be in Canadian ownership. They say that CAN CON was developed as the protection to Canadian songwriters in against the American domination to the radio airplay.
When song - recording and production had been done in Canada then it is considered 100 % Canadian.
As the Czech born songwriter I feel restricted to be collaborating only with Canadians if I want my songs to be played on Canadian commercial radio stations.

But I belief that Can Con is a hog wash because when song lyrics and music are outstanding then there is no one to stop the song from the airwaves.
If it would be so then Canadians would never heard of the Beatles - Stones and so on.
