The victory of Mark Carney and his party is a clear defeat for the American dictator and a clear rejection of the despot’s reactionary, restrictive policy. No wonder, that the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions congratulates Mark Carney and his party on their election and urges them to make cultural sovereignty a priority of their mandate. This would be a clear signal in North America, hopefully encouraging the cultural actors in the U.S to not to kowtow to Trump.
« The press release says: « The Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CDCE) congratulates Mark Carney on being elected Prime Minister of Canada and calls on the new government to take strong action in support of Canada’s cultural sovereignty.
Representing over 350,000 creators and more than 3,000 francophone and anglophone cultural enterprises across the country, the CDCE reminds the incoming government that expectations within the cultural sector are high. Among the key priorities expressed: mitigating the economic impacts of the trade dispute with the United States, protecting cultural industries in trade agreements, ensuring the implementation of the modernized Broadcasting Act, making targeted changes to copyright legislation, and taking action to safeguard creators in response to the disruptions caused by generative artificial intelligence. »
