The Heritage Department said in a statement on Wednesday that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)'s new requirements would "impose costs" on streamers "which could ultimately fall on Canadian consumers through higher prices."

"This is not the time to raise the cost for Canadians," Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters after meeting with his cabinet.

The government also said it is investing $600 million to "provide stability and immediate support to Canada's audio and audiovisual sectors and to keep our culture accessible and affordable for all Canadians."

Oh, so instead of reclaiming any profit out of an American company we'll just shake it out of Canadian pockets instead.

Of course what else does Carney do? The streamers are going to be increasing their prices soon as more and more people stop using it. Then they are going to pull advertisements into the content.
