Next week, season four of CIRA's “What’s up with the internet?” puts Canada’s creator economy front and centre. 🎙️ On September 21, host @takarasmall.bsky.social explores how Canadian creators are going global, reshaping media and building careers here at home. Catch up: cira.ca/podcast
Maybe there's a ton happening behind the scenes but it certainly doesn't feel like the government and law enforcement are taking the active participation of foreign actors in this process seriously.
