text: The CRTC, unbeknownst to virtually every Canadian, has for close to two decades required every broadcast distributor, be it cable, satellite or telephone company, to add a hidden tax of 5% to every bill with the proceeds going to fund Canadian content.  Unlike the issue of Canadian commercials in Super Bowl broadcasts, which every Canadian can see and complain about if they so desire, the CRTC deliberately forced the broadcasters to hide the 5% tax so Canadians wouldn't know about it.
