I was travelling through western Manitoba last week. A radio station advertised "all aboriginal content".
An entertainment industry friend advised that Canadian stations were required to play native artists material at least 35% of the time. BTO, Nickelback, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Alanis Morrisette, the DiFranco family(yes!), etc.
What's the story? Are aboriginal artists any Canadian born person, or Native American Indians? Is the Can Con requirement accurate?
No offensive or racial bias intended, just curious.
