Canada’s screen industry is more than entertainment—it’s a powerful economic driver, contributing over $11 billion to GDP and supporting 271,000 jobs. However, the industry is facing a crisis: a 19% drop in production and a 24% decline in foreign investment in just one year, driven by economic shifts and Hollywood strikes. With major regulatory changes coming in 2025, including streaming platform contributions and a redefinition of Canadian content, this is a pivotal moment. A bold, Canada-first strategy is needed to support local creators, attract investment, and ensure our stories thrive. The status quo isn’t enough—investing in Canadian film, TV, and digital media means securing both our cultural and economic future. It’s time to stand up for Canada. (ICE TORONTO)
