Because streaming is international while radio is local.

If international sites wanna play their music in Canada, then they should pay for the privilege.

I don't understand why streaming services need to help radio stations. Are radio station sharing their profit as well ?

Under those rules, streaming services that are not Canadian-owned and have more than CAD $25 million (approx. USD $18.5 million) in revenue in Canada annually are required to pay 5% of that revenue into funds that subsidize Canadian content and creators.

They always have.

And this **isn't ** about streaming services helping radio stations, its about supporting Canadian content creators.
