    I don’t understand why streaming services need to help radio stations. Are radio station sharing their profit as well ?

      Under those rules, streaming services that are not Canadian-owned and have more than CAD $25 million (approx. USD $18.5 million) in revenue in Canada annually are required to pay 5% of that revenue into funds that subsidize Canadian content and creators.
