Protecting Canada’s Cultural Sovereignty

Canadian communications companies need a level playing field against U.S. companies to preserve the country's cultural identity.

The show Law & Order Toronto features Canadian actors, writers, directors, and showrunners, and uses real-life Canadian news stories as inspiration for its plot points, making it a true representation of Canadian culture.

Rogers has a 65-year history of funding, producing, and airing Canadian content, including Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, multilingual newscasts on OMNI Television, live sportscasts of Canada’s teams, and daily news from local radio and Citytv stations.
