This might be good if done right.
When I was a kid, Canadian Content was a pejorative. There was a certain kind CBC drama that tended to be very samey. The historical dramas they produced were watched by the people with no other channels available, the people that wrote them, and that's it.
But if this money was put to making actual entertainment, not prestige works, then it might actually build up Canadian soft power like anime supports Japan.
