"Your porn is not Canadian enough"

Since our top two posters are Canadian I can't believe other members haven't mentioned it first, but apparently porn channels on cable in Canada have to broadcast at least 35% Canadian content and be close-captioned (admittedly there's usually not much dialogue to caption)! Three channels were issued a reprimand a couple of weeks ago for failing said regulations. (I tried to look up the specific regulations myself but I couldn't stop laughing.)

I usually frown upon nationalism and patriotism but in the case of porn I like to keep it close to home, so no reason to send the tits and ass, I mean jobs, overseas! At the moment I can only think of one site that is Canadian, the orifice-obsessed InTheCrack, which has its record of compliance address in Alberta, Calgary. Though for all I know much of its content could be shot in space it's so closeup. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I must say, if they had the audio descriptive programming on one of those channels, I would try to find it for the pure humor of it, hopefully they would use the same lady as PBS often does.

Does any other country have such a requirement, seems sort of strange to be nationalistic about your porn. Would seem to me that it would be more important to use Canadian talent than Canadian production companies. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.

Here's an article I think is related to this topic.
Canada Challenges Erotic TV on Level of Domestic Content

The requirement for a certain percentage of Canadian content in Radio and Television was introduced at a time when it seemed that our culture was being swallowed up by Hollywood. Our talent kept going south because that is where the money was and where they had the best opportunity to succeed. This is the reason behind the establishment of the CRTC. In my personal opinion they have not accomplished their goal. Canadian movies and TV shows are being churned out by the hundreds each year but nobody (hardly anybody) watches them.

There have been some break-through movies and shows that were actually quite good but chances are most Canadians will not see them because they still instinctively go for the American shows.

There is rebellious muttering among the unwashed masses about storming the Bastille of CRTC Headquarters and doing away with this inflexible insistence on a certain percentage of Canadian content on what we listen to and view.

There is certainly discontent among Netflix users who are forced to watch the Canadian version that features far less choices. I automatically click on every Canadian movie "not interested" when asked to rate movies but regrettably that does not do away with them.

The talent has always been there, it's the money to put out a top quality product that is missing.

The recent proclamation that a certain percentage of porn on TV had to be "Canadian" (actors, locations) left me stunned and deeply embarrassed about the idiots in charge of the Canadian Radio And Television Commission (CRTC).

They just managed to make us the laughing stock of the world.

You think the Canadian Government would give me a loan to start producing porn in their country to keep the quota up.
There certainly is incentive to produce it there, considering it will get broadcast on their porn channels. Some would naturally have to be produced in French. Warning Will Robinson

Don't worry, messmer, we're laughing with you, not at you.

The problem with porn is it's so heterogeneous when it comes to nationalities and geography. Even ITC was probably only "purely" Canadian in its first few months. And it still may be totally Canadian owned/operated but it's using American and Euro models in locations like Los Angeles and Jamaica.

If it has one positive, porn can be, at least for fans, a place to say "Eh, I don't care where she's from/what color she is, I just liked nekkid woman!" Of course it can also exacerbate some of the uglier racial stereotypes by centering genres and fetishes around them--the whole "interracial" category, for example, or the inherent lily-whiteness of a lot of sites.

Outside of porn, Hollywood has gotten quite a bit of use out of Canada. Think of all the successful Canadian comedians of the last few decades: John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Dana Carvey, etc. It also simultaneously benefits from shooting there, because of the numerous government incentives, shooting some 1500 productions between 1996 and 2006.

At least your country is honest about broadcasting porn on TV, if only to remind where it should be shot. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I was aware of this story because I posted something in another forum. I should have made a thread here but it's a little embarrassing and frankly stupid what is happening.

The reality is that I don't believe it's possible for any Canadian porn site to have 35% all Canadian content. At least not good content. I'm sure we could find plenty of solo model sites but there isn't really a porn industry in Canada. Quebec had a small one but I certainly haven't heard anything coming out of Quebec in a long time. Long live the Brown Coats.

Canadian porn... It got me to wondering aboot Canadian artists from days gone by. Did they paint maple leafs instead of fig leafs on their nudes? Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity.

It's about as Canadian as "Yank" automobiles are American. Many of the models are not Canadian, and shoots take place at far-flung locales like New Zealand. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England.

^Yeah I think that's like saying that Brazzer is Canadian because Manwin was at one point sort of a Canadian Company. Long live the Brown Coats.

Yeah, like I said, only the first months...after that, nearly anyone and anywhere it seems. Porn is the melting pot of pussy (Mmm! ), and rarely involves just a single nationality.

I counted 44 ITC models out of a total of nearly 350, so about 12%, way short of cable regulation though it's a website. I wonder whose job it would be to count the broadcast material?

I cannot say how many of their pornstars are canadian, but Mile High Media Inc is canadian, and Doghouse Digital features canadian actresses like Kelly Summers, Erika Heaven, Patricia Pettite, etc. BTW, I love Canadian girls (tell me Lanny Barbie isn't hot!). And you also find much from those girls on the Next Door Pass network.

^I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I'm not saying that we don't have any amazing looking porn performers because you have already named some of them but these are performers from Canada who had careers of various levels in the US but little if any in Canada. I'd also like to point out that I think every girls you named have been retired for a while now. Long live the Brown Coats.
