>>Oho! A shot across the bow! Let me just say we are deeply sorry for any American music you have been forced to listen to (LOL).

>>More seriously, can you name a popular style of music in which the best of it has not been American? OK, classical. That's it.

>Those are needed to protect our culture. Anyways for Quebec culture at least. Not sure for the rest of Canada. I mean because of our french heritage and because we're a small group of frenchies surrounded in a sea of english aliens <s> if we didn't have those laws then I'm afraid that we'd become an english province rather fast.
I disagree with the whole concept. I'm not just talking about Quebec vs the rest of Canada either. I'm talking about the whole thing. Any culture that has to build walls around itself and can't survive just based on it's relevance to it's people, maybe doesn't deserve to survive.
>You guys (USA) don't have to worry about that yet. I mean yet because eventually Wall-Mart could only carry chinese magazines. It'll be a part of the deal. Chinese will say if you still want our crap you'll have to take our Magazines and cds ... Oh and by the way we don't want to see english magazines in Wall-Mart. How do you feel about being forced to learn Mandarin in the coming year because if you don't you'll find it very hard to get basic informations.
Now you're really reaching into the area of
reductio ad absurdum.
