From the abstract:
Background:
In Canada, a complex set of public action instruments have been used over the past 100 years or so to encourage, regulate, and support Canadian cultural expression.
Analysis:
During this period, governments were primarily motivated by three normative imperatives: national identity, economic vitality, and cultural diversity. This article explores the cultural stakes for Canada in the digital platform environment to determine if these normative perspectives are still valid.
