The National Post reports in its Thursday edition that since Heritage Minister Melanie Joly's announcement last week of an agreement with Netflix that spares the American streaming service from being taxed and guarantees no funding for French-language content, she has been savaged in Quebec. The Post's Graeme Hamilton writes that Quebec's Culture Minister Luc Fortin last week accused Ottawa of abdicating its responsibilities because there is no provision for a minimum of French-language content in the Netflix deal. Mr. Fortin described himself as speechless and angry. Ms. Joly has struggled to sell the policy. Paul Arcand, a host on Montreal's 98.5 FM, accused Ms. Joly of "magical thinking" and called her explanation for exempting Netflix from the GST confused. "You can't be naive and sign blank cheques for American multinationals," Mr. Arcand said. He referred to her responses as "a nice cassette." The cassette label is one that has stuck to Ms. Joly because of her reputation for reciting scripted answers regardless of the question. Novelty T-shirt company Mercerie Roger came out with a "Melanie" T-shirt Tuesday in the style of a Netflix logo. It has a download bar at the bottom saying, "Cassette loading."
