Heated Rivalry shows Canadian content doesn’t need the CRTC’s help

Streaming platforms already give Canadians the tools to seek out the content they want, in the language they want, and the success stories speak for themselves.

I met an absolutely lovely academic who asked whether my department back home is affected by ICE -- a question dramatizing how little info is getting out.

For the record, the small example I chose:

My dept has a carpool to pick up grad students of color who can't safely commute to campus alone.

If I had ONE tip for librarians testing "Ai search" products is focus on relevancy. If you had time for just one query , test with a "tricky query". There is no one defintion of tricky, but a query that can easily return dozens/hundreds of relevant articles is definitely pointless to test! (1)
