Wow. Just wow.

Almost.

There is something called CanCon here where you have to play 35% Canadian shite on the radio ('tis why I got XM radio the moment it came out) So if Alannah couldn't even get a hit on Canadian Airwaves with it's welfare system, she REALLY sucks.

Following an extensive public hearing process organised by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the MAPL system, created by Stan Klees (co-creator of the Juno Award), was adopted as a way to define and identify Canadian content in pieces of music for the purposes of increasing exposure of Canadian music on Canadian radio through content regulations governing a percentage (25%) of airplay that is to be devoted to Canadian music. The percentage was increased to 30 per cent in the 1980s, and to 35 per cent in the 1990s.

To qualify as Canadian content a musical selection must generally fulfil at least two of the following conditions:

• M (music) - the music is composed entirely by a Canadian.
• A (artist) - the music is, or the lyrics are, performed principally by a Canadian.
• P (production) - the musical selection consists of a performance that is:
  • recorded wholly in Canada, or
  • performed wholly in Canada and broadcast live in Canada.
• L (lyrics) - the lyrics are written entirely by a Canadian.^[1]
