the canadian landscape: 01 market overview GEOGRAPHY

Canada, which has the 10th largest economy in the world with a GDP of USD $1529.76 billion (2016) representing 2.47 per cent of the world economy, is located at the northern end of the North American continent bounded by the Pacific Ocean and the state of Alaska to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north and, to the south, the United States of America.

The border between Canada and the U.S. is the longest undefended international boundary between two countries in the world at 8,891 kms (5,525 miles), which includes the Alaskan border of 2,475 kms (1,538 miles).

Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories:

Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Ontario (ON) Northwest Territories (NT) Nova Scotia (NS) Manitoba (MB) Nunavut (NU) New Brunswick (NB) Saskatchewan (SK) Yukon (YT) Prince Edward Island (PEI) Alberta (AB) Québec (QC) British Columbia (BC)

While the capital of Canada is Ottawa, which is located in the province of Ontario and the home town of current Cana- dian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, elected October 19, 2015, the ten provinces and three territories have their own provincial capitals:

NL – St. John’s NS – Halifax NB – Fredericton PEI – Charlottetown QC – Québec City ON – Toronto MB – Winnipeg SK – Regina AB – Edmonton BC – Victoria NT – Yellowknife NU – Iqaluit YT – Whitehorse

Population

Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area – almost 9 million square kilometers – with six time zones. For this reason, it has a low population density: 3.9 people per square kilometer, compared to 35.3 people per square kilometer in the United States.

According to the 2016 census, 81% of the population lives in urban areas. The increase in the senior population (65+) to 16.9% was the largest since the first census (1871) after Confederation and the first time it has exceeded the num- ber of children (15 and under) at 16.6% though Canada still has a lower share of seniors than any of the G7 countries except the United States. The working age population (15-64) declined from 68.5% (2011) to 66.5% though Canada leads all G7 countries in the number of working age people thanks to consistently high immigration levels which is the good news during a time of a shrinking tax base.

According to the 2016 census, approximately 66 per cent of Canada’s population of 35,151,728 – 0.5 per cent of the world’s population – live within 100 kms of the U.S.-Canada border, which for the most part follows the 49th parallel, in an area that represents only four per cent of Canada’s territory. It includes the three major urban centres: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, which are home to 35.5 per cent of all Canadians, a combined population of 12.5 million. Toronto is the largest Canadian city (5,928,040) followed by Montreal (4,098, 927), Vancouver (2,463,431), Calgary (1,392,609), Ottawa-Gatineau (1,323,783) and Edmonton (1,321, 426).

Population growth was most marked in seven census metropolitan areas including Windsor, St. Catharines-Niagara and Guelph in Ontario; Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta; Regina in Saskatchewan and Victoria in British Columbia. The greatest population growth acceleration was in Windsor at 3.1 per cent from 2011 to 2016 following a 1.3 per cent decline between 2006 and 2011.

Cultural Diversity

As population growth in Canada is often the result of immigration rather than an increasing birth rate, new citizens soon find that cultural diversity is encouraged. This has given rise to a multitude of ethnic communities across the country where the culture and musical traditions of the “old country” are still celebrated. According to a Statistics Canada projection, by 2031, about 28 per cent of the population will be foreign-born and the number of visible minority groups will double, the majority of which will live in Toronto and Vancouver.

According to 2016 statistics, the visible minority popula- tion, defined by the Employment Equity Act as “persons other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour” was 7.7M or 22.3% . Those figures have risen steadily since 1996: 1996 (3.2M, 11.2%), 2001 (4.0M, 13.4%), 2006 (5.1M, 16.2%), 2011 (6.3M, 19.1%), 2016 (7.7M, 22.3%).

CANADIAN RECORDED MUSIC 02 MARKET

Canada is the sixth largest music market in the world with recorded music revenues that increased in 2016 by 12.8 per cent to CAD $489.4 million according to Music Canada statistics for 2016.

That robust showing was the result of strong digital revenues which were up by 37.1 per cent from 2015. Streaming led the way with a 156.4% increase from CAD $66.3 million in 2015 to CAD $170 million in 2016. Mobile and other digital revenues were up by 144.9 per cent from CAD $2.4 million to CAD $5.9 million. Downloads saw a drop of 14.8 per cent from CAD $157.4 million to CAD $134.2 million in 2016.

The sales decline of most physical product continued, dropping 13.5 per cent from the previous year, though vinyl showed some sales strength with a 36.8 percent increase from CAD $20.9 million in 2015 to CAD $28.6 million in 2016. Sales of CDs were down 22 percent from CAD $125.6 million in 2015 to CAD $98 million in 2016. Sales of other physical product, including singles, DVDs, cassettes etc., were down by 11.3 per cent from $5.7 million the previous year to CAD $5.5 million in 2016.

In a big picture view, Canadian Heritage notes that arts, culture and heritage represent CAN $54.6 billion in the Canadian economy and more than 630,000 jobs in sectors such as film and video, broadcasting, music, publishing, archives, performing arts, heritage institutions, festivals and celebrations.

Canada’s Heritage

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth as head of state, though she is a figurehead leader only with powers limited by the Constitution. Both French and British monarchs have reigned in Canada from 1534 when Jacques Cartier landed in Gaspé, was welcomed by the region’s Indigenous people and took possession of Canada in the name of François I, King of France. Under Louis XV, the French began to lose their grip on the French colonial empire in North America. During this period, British influence increased and between 1755 and 1763, more that 15,000 French-speaking Acadians living in the Maritimes were ordered deported. Many ended up in Louisiana where they became known as Cajuns. In the aftermath of the Seven Years War between France and Britain, which included the French defeat by the British on the Plains of Abraham near Québec City in 1759, the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763 saw France surrender the Canadian colonies to Britain.

6 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

Canada is a bilingual country with English and French as the official languages, a fact made obvious to visitors who CANADIAN RECORDED MUSIC will note the use of both English and French on all packaged goods sold across the country, at all government agen- cies and as part of services offered by airlines and railways, for example. With the passage of Bill 101 (The Charter of the French Language/La charte de la langue française) French, the language of the majority of the population in MARKET Québec, became the official language in that province. Canada’s national public radio and television broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/ Société Radio-Canada, commonly known as the CBC and Radio-Canada, are the English and French language service units respectively of the Crown Corporation founded on November 2, 1936 for radio and September 6, 1952 for TV. As well as Québec, private French-language radio stations can be found across the country. Canada’s Wide Open Spaces

Canada’s size, relatively small population and its proximity to the United States have all impacted the development of its music culture. That vastness and solitude became the inspiration for the lyrical and musical portraits created and voiced by the country’s much-acclaimed singer/songwriters.

Canadian educator Homer Hogan once suggested that a key to the mystery of the country’s distinctiveness may be its peculiar relation to space – both the space that surrounds us in this vast country and the “inner” space in which we feel our way toward personal significance and community. Most Canadian singer/songwriters will tell you that the great expanse of land that is Canada has had some influence on them.

In considering Canada’s image abroad, essayist/novelist John Ralston Saul has written: “... Canada’s profile abroad is, for the most part, its culture. It is our image. That is what Canada becomes in people’s imaginations around the world. When the time comes for non-Canadians to buy, to negotiate, or to travel, chances are, the attitude towards Canada will already have been determined to a surprising extent by the projection of our culture abroad.”

The 30 Per Cent Solution

In the early ‘70s, in order to help mitigate the domination of foreign repertoire on Canadian radio airwaves, legisla- tion was introduced (January 18, 1971) that committed both English-language and French-language radio stations to ensure that at least 30% - currently 35% - of the popular music broadcast each week is Canadian Content. It had a significant impact and within five years, in order to supply Canadian records to the radio stations, a domestic music industry was coaxed into existence. The number of Canadian-owned record companies rose to more than 40 from fewer than 10, the multinational record companies all established Canadian talent development divisions, state-of-the- art recording studios were founded across the country and royalty payments made by the major Canadian performing rights organization at the time, CAPAC, quadrupled in the years from 1968 to 1974.

By 1972, the Canadian recording industry had become confident enough to showcase some of the country’s top art- ists as part of an ambitious project called The Maple Music Junket which was organized with the idea of exposing the European market to the Canadian music scene to demonstrate its inherent differences with that of the U.S. The press junket saw many of Europe’s top music journalists flown to Canada for three days of concerts by some of Canada’s top English and French-speaking artists in Montréal. Val David (Quebec) and Toronto courtesy of the Canadian govern- ment and the music industry.

Pierre Juneau, the chairman of the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC), the agency which was instru- mental in the introduction of the CanCon regulations, was held in such high esteem that the awards presented annu- ally for musical excellence in Canada were ultimately named the JUNO Awards.

Music Culture in Canadian Life

In 1979, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the father of current Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was on hand at the JUNO Awards in Toronto to induct Nova Scotia-born country music legend Hank Snow into the Cana- dian Music Hall of Fame. His extemporaneous speech summed up music and culture’s unique place in Canadian life.

“We realize that the performers are more than the contributors to an industry which is big business.

“We’re living in an industrial age, an industrial society We realize that they also express first, their own soul, and, thanks to this technology, music can reach out their own feelings, their own interior strength, but they and touch many people in our country and all countries also sing the song of Canada. They sing from the heart across the world… The cultural activities are the ones in of Canada. They sing of the feelings of Canada and, for which Canadians engage themselves the most of any this reason, they deserve our support.” other activity. The cultural industries are bigger than steel in Canada. They are bigger than pulp and paper – some six billion dollars a year. It’s a big industry and we Pierre have to remember that, we the audiences, we the outsid- ers, we the government, we the onlooker. Trudeau Pierre Trudeau

Canada’s historical and political realities led to the recognition of the culture and languages of both its British and French founders. This gave rise to enduring regional music cultures, particularly in the Maritime provinces of the east coast and the predominantly French-speaking province of Québec, which not only have thriving contemporary music scenes but also continue to celebrate the musical traditions of their ancestors.

The Music of Canada’s First Nations

Though the music of Canada’s First Nations, which in its original form primar- ily featured percussion accompanying vocal performance, had little early impact on mainstream music tastes, it found contemporary relevance through recordings by artists of indigenous Canadian heritage like Buffy Sainte-Marie (Cree), Robbie Robertson (Mohawk), Willie Dunn (Mi’kmaq), Susan Aglukark (Inuk), Kashtin (Innu), Tom Jackson (Métis), Lawrence Martin (Cree), Tanya Tagaq (Tlingit), Tribe Called Red (Ojibwe, Cayuga, Mohawk), Kinnie Starr (Mohawk), Digging Roots (Ojibwe, Anishinaabe), Crystal Shawanda (Ojibwe), Logan Staats (Mohawk from Oshwekan, Ontario, Six Nations of the Grand River Nation), IsKwé (Cree and Dene) and The Jerry Cans (Inuk).

As Buffy Sainte-Marie was being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1995, she spoke of escaping beyond the spotlight and discovering the rest of Canada and the people and artists who come from those remote communities and the music that they love and produce. She was referring to her visits to the isolated First Nation communities and her hope that the music culture that still thrives there be given exposure and nurtured. A proud moment for Buffy and Canada’s indigenous music community came with the establishment in the mid-90s of the Best Music of Aboriginal Canada Record- ing category at the JUNO Awards which was later renamed Indigenous Music Album of the Year “in support of acknowledging all First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities in Canada.”

The Birth of the Recording Industry – Canada’s Role

The recording industry was born in 1877 with the introduction of the pho- nograph by Thomas Edison, scion of a Canadian family. In 1899, expatriate German/American Emile Berliner, who had been instrumental in inventing the microphone and the flat disc-playing gramophone, moved his operations to Montreal thereby guaranteeing the city status as one of the earliest major recording centres in the world.

In 1880, Scottish-born Canadian immigrant Alexander Graham Bell, known for his work with the telephone, his cousin Chichester Bell, and English inven- tor Charles Tainter developed a wax cylinder player called the Graphophone which was ultimately bought and manufactured by the Columbia Grapho- phone Co. (now Sony Music).

10 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

In 1897, Emile Berliner, who had established the United States Gramophone Co. (later to become the Victor Talking Machine Co.) and was in the process of setting up the Gramophone Co. in England (now EMI) through his emissary William Barry Owen, moved to Montreal and set up his operation with his son Herbert. In 1898, his brother Joseph traveled to Germany and founded the Deutsche Grammophon company in Hanover (later part of PolyGram).

By 1918, Emile Berliner’s son Herbert had founded the Compo Company (later Decca Records then MCA and then Universal headed up for a time by Montreal-native Edgar Bronfman) in Lachine, a suburb of Montreal. In 1925, Compo issued the first electronically recorded discs on its Apex label using a process initially developed by two Canadian, for- mer Royal Air Force officers, Lionel Guest and Horace Owen Merriman, who had recorded the ceremony of the burial of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey five years earlier.

A major hardware staple of the early recording industry was the Jukebox, and it was a Canadian, David Rockola of Virden, Manitoba, who was instrumental in its further development as he introduced his Rock-Ola Multi-Selector pho- nograph in the mid-30s.

Though there was no music industry infrastructure to speak of across the country for the first six decades of the 20th century, for some Canadian singers, songwriters, musicians and composers, it was a minor inconvenience as most packed up and headed south to the U.S. where a number of them met with great success. Hamilton, Ontario-born bal- lad singer Harry Macdonough and New Brunswick-native Henry Burr were two of the most prolific and spectacularly successful vocalists during the early decades of the century.

In July of 1940, Billboard introduced its first retail singles charts and “I’ll Never Smile Again” written by Ruth Lowe of Toronto and recorded by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra with Frank Sinatra on vocals, was the first number one record. It stayed there for 12 weeks. During this time, London, Ontario’s Guy Lombardo and his band were becoming synony- mous with New Years Eve celebrations with their version of “Auld Lang Syne.”

Into the ‘50s, Canadians continued to impact the charts internationally beginning with doo wop groups The Four Lads, The Crew Cuts, The Diamonds and The Rover Boys, who were all from Toronto and ending the decade with major chart successes for Windsor, Ontario’s Jack Scott and Ottawa, Ontario’s Paul Anka who in 1957 topped the charts with a song he wrote about his babysitter, “Diana,” which went on to become one of the biggest selling singles of all time.

In the mid-to-late ‘60s, Toronto’s Yorkville Village and the developing music scene there became a magnet for a number of artists from the rest of Canada who were destined to become household names in the rock and folk world including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, John Kay (Steppenwolf) and Ian & Sylvia.

11 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

Usually, Yorkville was just a stopping off point before heading to either New York (Greenwich Village) or Los Angeles. For many, a move from Canada where there really weren’t any major opportunities to record, meant complete assimila- tion into the American way of life. Neil Young moved to LA where he formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, which evolved to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young before he embarked on a solo career. Joni Mitchell, Buffy Sainte- Marie, Leonard Cohen and Andy Kim left to make their way in the U.S. and many notable ‘60s rock bands had Canadian members including David Clayton-Thomas (Blood, Sweat & Tears), Gene Cornish (The Young Rascals), Corky Laing (Mountain), Denny Doherty (The Mamas and the Papas), Zal Yanovsky (The Lovin’ Spoonful) Alexander “Skip” Spence (Jefferson Airplane), Floyd Sneed (Three Dog Night), Harrison Kennedy (Chairmen of the Board) and most of the mem- bers of Janis Joplin’s Full Tilt Boogie Band.

American rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins arrived in Canada – the “Promised Land” he called it – in 1958 and eventu- ally decided to stay. One of the groups he put together to play the bar circuit with Toronto’s Yonge Street strip as the hub, was the Hawks, which in one of its configurations included American drummer Levon Helm and four Canadian musicians: Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson. When they headed out on their own, they met Bob Dylan with whom they recorded and toured before changing their name to The Band and becoming one of the great originals in the history of rock music.

As the ‘60s decade came to a close, singer Anne Murray emerged from the Maritimes and into the international spot- light with the song “Snowbird,” the first in a long list of hits she would have during her career as a crossover artist on both the pop and country charts.

RECORDING STUDIOS

One of the sectors of the Canadian music industry most immediately impacted by the Canadian Content regulations that came into effect on January 18, 1971 was the actual business of recording itself. Prior to 1970, there were only a handful of first class studios in Canada. By 1976, according to an update piece on the legislation that appeared in Maclean’s magazine that year, there were ten 16-track studios in Toronto alone.

The story of the development of sound recording technology is generally considered to have begun on that momen- tous day in 1877 when Thomas Alva Edison, scion of a Canadian family, managed to record and play back the words: “Mary had a little lamb” on a tinfoil cylinder device.

In 1904, Herbert Berliner, son of Emile Berliner and a pioneer of the record industry in Canada as founder of The Compo Company, the first independent label in the country, opened a recording studio in Montreal. In 1925, Compo issued the first electronically-recorded discs on its Apex label.

In 1932, another milestone was achieved as the Wilf Carter single, “My Swiss Moonlight Lullabye,” recorded for the Canadian Victor label in Montreal by A. Hugh Joseph, became the first hit record recorded domestically.

Notably, in the ‘40s, Studio Victor was built by RCA Victor in Montreal in 1942 and, in 1946, musician, big band leader and broadcaster Al Reusch, a pioneer of the west coast recording industry and music scene, opened Aragon Recording Studios on 615 West Hastings Street in Vancouver. For a decade, between 1958 and 1968, Hallmark Studios in Toronto was considered one of the leading recording studios in the country.

In 1972, producer Andre Perry, who famously recorded the John Lennon and Yoko Ono (Plastic Ono Band) single “Give Peace A Chance” on a four-track recorder rented from RCA, during a bed-in by the duo at Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth Hotel in June of 1969, built Le Studio just north of Montreal near the town of Morin-Heights, Quebec. Before closing in 2008, it had been the recording venue of choice for artists like Rush (and their producer Terry Brown), The Police, Cat Stevens and The Bee Gees, among many others.

Over the years, certain studios achieved legendary status based on the stellar work of the producers who called them home. To cite just a couple, Nimbus 9’s Soundstage Studio in Toronto, established in 1972 by acclaimed producer Jack Richardson (The Guess Who, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper), was also the training ground for Canadian Music Hall of Fame producer, arranger, songwriter Bob Ezrin (Lou Reed. Alice Cooper, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel). Little Moun- tain Sound, built in 1972, was for many years through the ‘80s and ‘90s, the sonic sanctuary for two other Canadian Music Hall of Fame inducted producers: the late Bruce Fairbairn (Prism, Loverboy, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, AC/DC) and Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue, The Cult) STUDIO REFERRAL AND PROJECT COORDINATION

The Indies Emerge

As the concept of setting a quota for the amount of Canadian music to be played on Canadian radio began to take shape in the late ‘60s, there had already been a history of animosity between radio broadcasters and the independent record labels and producers in this country who were constantly hitting a brick wall when it came to getting their re- cords played. Canadian radio programmers used the American charts as the source for proven hits and that left little room for domestic artists trying to get exposure for their music on the public airwaves.

The Canadian Record Manufacturers Association (CRMA), later the Canadian Re- cording Industry Association (CRIA), and today known as Music Canada, had little to say on the matter as their association was comprised mainly of the heads of the major labels, most of which were subsidiaries of U.S. and U.K. companies.

It is interesting to note that one of Canada’s biggest groups of all time got their name as a result of radio’s proven hesitancy about programming the music of homegrown artists back in the mid-‘60s. When a band by the name of Chad Allen and the Expressions from Winnipeg delivered their latest single to the record company, the decision was made to disguise the fact that they were a Canadian group. The single was packaged up and on the cover was written “Guess Who?” The single “Shakin’ All Over” got enough play to get the public’s attention and the group continued on to a stellar career.

As the ‘60s came to a close and the inevitability of some sort of legislated solution to the lack of Canadian music on radio became clear, a number of stations, in part worrying that there was not enough quality Canadian music extant to make up a third of their playlists, entered the record business themselves. The reaction from the Canadian independ- ent music community was predictable. They accused the broadcasters of trying to cash in on the new regulations and an emergency summit of interested parties was convened.

Two days after the 30 per cent Canadian Content regulations for radio came into effect on January 18, 1971, the Canadian Independent Record Production Asso- ciation (CIRPA) – today known as the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) – was formed.

Stated goals were: to act as a forum for the gathering, discussion and dissemination of information relating to the business of independent record production; to corporately strive for a higher standard of production quality in Canada resulting in greater rewards for the entire Canadian music industry; to collectively support the growth of the tal- ent community in Canada; and to make available to Canadian independent record producers an organization within which they can combine their talents, reputations, present and potential financial and political forces and direct them towards the solution of problems faced by independent record producers as a group.

Five years after the Content regulations were introduced by the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) led by Pierre Juneau – he was held in such high esteem in the aftermath that Canada’s major music award the JUNO was named after him – the number of Canadian-owned record companies had risen to more than 40 from fewer than 10 before the rulings were introduced and the major labels in Canada had all established Canadian talent development divisions. There was suddenly a viable infrastructure to the Canadian music industry.

He’s also an active participant in the business of three How relevant are the Canadian Content regulations for radio agencies which process copyrights and licenses and is on the these days... and I ask in the context of how they greatly helped advisory council of the Canadian Conference of the Arts. He grow the indie music scene in Canada since their introduction talks about the state of Canadian independent music almost a half century ago? companies today and some of the challenges the industry faces. I heard someone say a while back, “Radio’s importance is wan- ing but it has never been as important.” When our industry is reflected on the radio, it pays off in dividends and not just in dollars, though the royalties are good. It’s still a very important tool for discoverability and marketability for our artists. The unfortunate thing is a lot of the independent community is not reflected on Canadian radio even though it’s a 35 per cent man- date. That’s important. I think it should still continue. Unfortu- nately, the programmers tend to go with a Top 40 which I now think is a Top 10, so to get into that rotation is an even tougher battle. From a policy perspective, it’s also another reminder to those who broadcast music that we have a strong Canadian industry and great Canadian music and they need to pay atten- tion to it. Unfortunately, many of our independent artists who well-deserve to have radio play and are successful in their own rights, don’t always get the opportunity to get played on radio.

Funding is an on-going activity for not only CIMA but a number of other organizations within the Canadian music industry. Is there any growth in that area at this point? [NB This interview took place prior to the release of the Federal Budget 2018 in late February in which there was no mention of support for the Canada Music Fund.]

There are a couple of different answers to that. On the provin- cial or regional front, there seems to be growth in funding. Look at the Ontario Music Fund. That’s a CAN $15 million infusion into the broader industry here in Ontario. We’ve seen a two-year commitment in BC that will grow. We’re looking at potential commitments on the east coast. From that perspective, I think we’re in that period where governments have recognized the value of the music industry in terms of investment

47 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

MEDIA: RADIO & TELEVISION 03 IN CANADA

Canada’s enormous land mass and the need for efficient communication over that great expanse has kept Canada in the forefront of broadcast technology.

On December 12, 1901, Marconi received the first “wireless” transmission from Cornwall, England at Signal Hill, Newfoundland, and on Christmas Eve of 1906, Canadian Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, who came to be known as the Father of Radio, demonstrated AM radio as he made the first “wireless” broadcast to ships at sea from Brant Rock, near Boston.

Radio arrived on the scene in December of 1919 as Marconi’s Montreal station XWA signed on in an experimental mode. It began regular programming on May 20, 1920 with the broadcast of a music show from Montreal to a meeting of the Royal Society of Canada in Ottawa giving it claim as the first commercial broadcaster in the world.

The Canadian National Railway began broadcasting in 1923, marking the unofficial beginning of public radio. In 1926, Canadian Edward (Ted) Samuel Rogers invented the 110-volt vacuum tube, making it possible to operate radios with- out batteries. He launched the world’s first batteryless radio station in Toronto just over 90 years ago, first as 9RB and then CFRB, short for Canada’s First Rogers Batteryless.

On Dominion Day, July 1, 1927, the first North American, coast-to-coast radio network broadcast was conducted in the form of speeches by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King and music from the Diamond Jubilee of Canadian Confederation celebrations in Ottawa.

The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC) was established in 1932 to be replaced four years later by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

The following is a thumbnail sketch of the broadcasting landscape in Canada today with a list of formats and stations in the country’s major markets. You will find links to all of the radio and television stations in Canada, updated to 2018, at the end of this list.

67 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

CANADIAN CHART ANALYSIS 2017

There was some pretty buoyant news for the Canadian music industry at the beginning of this year with the release of the Nielsen Music Year-End Report which offered a thumbnail sketch of the state of the biz in this country in 2017 backed by definitive consumption figures and charts. The highlights

R&B/Hip-Hop enjoyed an upward surge of popularity in Canada in 2017 becoming the fastest growing music genre of the year, with an 86 per cent increase in On-Demand Audio streaming consumption over 2016. According to the Nielsen Report, seven of the year’s ten most-streamed artists in Canada came from that genre, including a couple of fresh talents from this country: Daniel Caesar and Nav.

On-Demand Audio streaming, which in December of 2017 surpassed the 900 million per week mark for the first time in history, was also in the spotlight with the news that the consumption of albums, songs and On-Demand Audio in- creased by 13.6 percent over the previous year. That was enough to offset the slump in track and album sales.

Brit singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran was the artist story of 2017 with the top-selling album of the year with Divide as he led all artists in Canada with overall consumption.

Times were also good for six Canadian artists who saw their albums hit the top spot on the Billboard Canadian album charts in 2017 including The Weeknd (Starboy), Drake (More Life), Arcade Fire (Everything Now), Shania Twain (Now), Pierre Lapointe (La Science du Coeur) and the late Gord Downie (Introduce Yerself), whose passing last year led to an immediate bump in The Tragically Hip’s overall consumption by 1000 per cent over the previous week as six of the group’s album re-entered the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

Those who had been predicting the rapid decline of the vinyl format had reason for the seventh year in a row to scratch their heads as sales increased once again in as many years. For Canadians, vinyl seems to be the format of choice when purchasing albums that come with memories attached. According to the report, catalogue titles repre- sented 59 per cent of vinyl album sales in 2017, the highest percentage to date.

73 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

04 MUSIC RETAIL

In early 2017, playing a hunch on a move by the music-buying public away from data-based music purchases and a resur- gence in interest in vinyl records, Ontario-based record retailer Sunrise Records, a chain active since 1977, took over the leases of 70 former HMV locations across the country. In the process it became a national chain dubbing itself “Canada’s Record Store.” HMV Canada established itself in 1986 with the purchase of the Mister Sound chain. HMV went out of business in the spring of 2017.

While the wisdom of Sunrise’s expansion by way of bricks-and-mortar outlets is still being debated, record stores special- izing in vinyl still continue to open with great optimism across the country.

The largest music retailer in the province of Quebec, and surely the oldest in Canada, is Archambault which was founded in Montreal in 1896. The chain is still thriving today in a market where physical product is still a significant sales source for music.

Sam the Record Man, which would become the largest re- cord retail chain in Canada with 140 outlets by the early ‘80s, had its beginnings in 1937 when founder Sam Sniderman opened a small section for records in the family business, Sniderman Radio Sales and Service. In the early ‘60s, he opened the flagship store in downtown Toronto. The chain closed in October of 2001. The iconic Yonge Street store re- mained open until June of 2007. One store bearing the name remains at the Quinte Mall in Belleville, Ontario.

In the fall of 2007, Canadian music retailer Pindoff Record Sales, sold off their 72-store Music World chain. The new own- ers immediately filed for bankruptcy protection and by early the next year the last remaining Canadian-owned national music chain was no more.

Toronto-based A&A Records, which opened just after the war, was the dominant record store chain in Canada prior to the expansion of Sam the Record Man in the early ‘60s. A&A filed for bankruptcy in 1993 at about the same time the Ameri- can chain Tower Records tested the Canadian market with a flagship store in downtown Toronto. By 2001, it had closed.

A&B Sound was founded in Richmond, British Columbia in 1959 and expanded to other cities in BC and western Canada. The chain closed in 2008 joining a number of other regional chains and independent stores across the country which suf- fered the same fate including Ottawa-based Treble Clef, which had also been founded back in the late ‘50s. The fondly-re- membered Record On Wheels, founded in the early ‘70s in Toronto, had an interesting evolution as it later became R.O.W. Entertainment which is today Entertainment One (eOne), an international powerhouse in the production and acquisition of entertainment content rights for exploitation across all consumer media.

Just a week after Record Store Day, this year celebrated on April 21, Peterborough, Ontario’s Moondance, the oldest inde- pendent record shop in the country, closed its doors after 46 years in business. 74 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

Though Paul Tuch admits to being a chart-watcher from Prior to the ‘60s, the only real charts reflecting musical tastes way-back – he still has newspaper clippings of the charts for in Canada were those issued by radio stations in their local Toronto radio stations CHUM-FM and CFTR – it wasn’t until markets across Canada. The CHUM Chart in Toronto was one he joined the Canadian music trade magazine The Record as of the most influential but the hits of the day were pretty much Chart Editor back in 1987 that he began to take a profession- defined by their placement on the charts of the major trade pub- al interest in chartology. After a decade with The Record, he lications in the U.S. like Billboard, Cashbox and Record World. joined Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) in 1997 and remained with the company following its merger with SoundScan and When did that change? purchase by the Nielsen Company.

The Canadian trade magazine RPM Weekly came on the scene in 1964 and began the process of compiling a chart which became the first real national survey of both sales and radio airplay.

When The Record started publishing in 1981, they eventually had the sales charts which were based on calling out or getting faxes from the stores each week on their top-selling singles or albums. Of course there were huge flaws in that. At The Record, we also had the airplay charts which were based on the rotations of songs at radio. We would then weight the stations based on population size or importance of the market and then did a mathematical equation to come up with a point system.

SoundScan was introduced in 1991 and then came to Canada in 1996. Manager Bruce Allen tells the story of sitting in a hotel room with his client Bryan Adams and producer Mutt Lange during that period and they all noted that suddenly country records had taken a major shift upwards on the charts due to the accuracy of the sales reporting at retail. Within a year, he was managing Martina McBride, Mutt was working with Shania Twain and Bryan was working with Nashville songwriter Gretchen Peters.

It’s funny, but it’s absolutely true. Garth Brooks all of a sudden debuted at number one but, beyond that, all sorts of albums were debuting at the top of the charts and that rarely happened before SoundScan and the ability to see the true reflection of first-week sales.

Sales have obviously gone down in the rest of iTunes, we were able to track digital albums and digital tracks. the country because of streaming but streaming hasn’t taken hold That started in 2005. We started tracking streaming in Canada as quickly in Quebec so when there’s a big record out that sells in 2014. We get data from all the streaming providers like a lot of copies in Quebec, that will be reflected on the national Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and all the others available here. charts. The way we do it is very similar to the way we do a sales chart. It’s based on an ISRC [International Standard Recording Code] number and we basically track the amount of streams that songs get to come up with streaming charts. With the advent of streaming and digital, we’ve had to change the way the Hot 100 works. It used to be a physical and radio-based chart but now it includes digital tracks and streaming. It’s all based on data that is compiled in Canada. Sales are based on those within Canadian postal codes. Streaming reflects anyone who streams a song within an IP [Internet Protocol] address in Canada. It’s all Canadian based.

Does social media play any part in the compilation process?

We don’t use social media as part of the chart; we do track social engagement. It’s a very different thing. Getting a “like” on Facebook or Twitter, or a Wikipedia view, is very different than actually engaging with a song. Just because you “like” some- thing on Facebook doesn’t mean you are actively engaging with the music. You may be engaging with the artist because you are attracted to the artist or they do something funny or they have a great video, but it’s nothing to do with actually listening to the song. That would be too easily manipulated. For a starter, with SoundScan and BDS, it was bringing truth to the process and answering the questions of what is, in fact, the best-selling record and what is getting the most airplay.

You also compile the data for the French chart [Palmarès ADISQ] in Quebec. Is that data included in the compilation of the Canadian chart?

COPYRIGHT & MUSIC PUBLISHING 05 IN CANADA

Another indication of the growing strength of digital music distribution was reflected in its move into second place in 2016 as the second largest stream of royalty revenues within the total collections of CAN $320M, according to the Global Collections Report for 2017 (covering the year 2016) from the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC). For the first time, digital, which accounted for CAN $58 million in 2016, up 45.4 per cent from CAN $40 million in 2015, moved past Live & Background into second place as it represented 18 per cent of total collections.

TV and radio remain the single largest source of royalty revenue at CAN $200.9 million in 2016, stable compared to the previous year and accounting for 62.9 per cent of Canada’s collections. Revenues from live and background were down close to 3 per cent at CAN $39 million while CDs and video royalty revenues were down 1.0 per cent to CAN $15 million. The biggest decline was seen in private copying sliding 49.3 per cent year-on-year to CAN $2.3 million.

TV & Radio – 62.9%

Digital – 18%

Live & Background – 12.3%

CD & Video – 4.7%

Other – 0.9%

Private Copying – 0.7%

Synchronization – 0.3%

Mechanical Reproduction – 0.1%

The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) reported new record revenues accumu- lated and distributed in 2017 for its songwriter, composer and music publisher members helped in part by a 46 per cent increase over 2016 to CAN $49.3 million in Internet-based revenues. Total performing rights revenues in 2017 were more than CAN $350 million, a 6.4 per cent increase over the previous year and for the first time exceeding CAN $350 million. SOCAN’s total distribution of royalties to its members was more than $300-million for the first time in the organization’s history. Domestic revenue of $274-million, marked an increase of 4.5% over last year’s record, and a 35% increase since 2012. SOCAN also noted that royalties from non-Canadian sources of more than $75-million, now the number one revenue stream for SOCAN members, reflects the incredible strength of Canadian talent and SOCAN’s repertoire. This marks a 60% increase since 2012. One sobering statistic from the SOCAN report was that the vast majority of members who received payment for their streamed music in 2017 earned an average of only $38.72.

Show Me the Money - A Thumbnail Sketch of Music Copyright in Canada

With the passing of the British North America Act (later known as the Constitution Act) by the British parliament on July 1, 1867, the Dominion of Canada was created, and its constitution set out. Within that document, under subsec- tion 91 (23), Canada was given exclusive jurisdiction over its copyright laws. The first major copyright legislation in 1921, introduced the provision for the compulsory licensing for the mechanical reproduction of musical works on sound recordings. The Canadian Copyright Act of 1924, which established Life+50 as the basic term of copyright, also specified that the royalty rate for recorded music was to be two cents per recorded surface. Those were in the days of 78 RPM records which had one song per side. With the introduction of the LP, there could be as many as six songs per side. The calculation then, and for many years after, was two cents divided by six per side. That calculation became even more ludicrous when tape was introduced.

The Copyright Act remained relatively unchanged until 1988. By the mid-‘80s, the Canadian Music Publishers Associa- tion (CMPA), which in 1976 had established the Canadian Music Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA) to administer mechanical and synchronization rights, had set up a Copyright Change Committee with the slogan, “Two cents, too long.” In 1988, the Canadian Copyright Act was amended and modernized through Bill C-60 – also known as “Phase One” of the on-going revision – and the two-cent compulsory license gave way to direct negotiations between the CMRRA and the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) – now known as Music Canada – representing the major labels, on the rates and terms of mechanical licensing. It also included enhanced Moral Rights to protect the reputation of a creator; and the creation of a new Copyright Board. As the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement came into effect the following year, the Act was amended to require cable and satellite companies to pay for the retransmis- sion of works.

Significant reforms to the Copyright Act were made in 1997 with Phase Two (Bill C-32) of copyright reform which among other things introduced the levy on blank tape and recordable CDs (CD-Rs), neighbouring rights – rights of per- formers and makers of sound recordings to be paid fairly for the broadcast and public performance of their works – and a clarified fair dealing defense. Between 2005 and 2011, a number of attempts were made to amend the Copyright Act but all died on the table due to political opposition. In 2011, the majority Conservative Party introduced Bill C-11, the Copyright Modernization Act, which passed and became law in June of 2012. Among its provisions was the allow- ance for time shifting, format shifting and backup copies, an expansion of the scope of fair dealing to include educa- tion, satire and parody, the prohibition of the circumvention of digital locks, even for personal use, and the adoption of a “notice-and-notice” regime which requires ISPs to forward any notice alleging infringement received from rights owners to the subscribers in question.

89 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

With the release of the Canadian government’s Economic Action Plan 2015 came the inclusion of a proposed amend- ment to the Canadian Copyright Act which would extend the duration of copyright protection for sound recordings and performances from 50 years to 70 years after the release date of the sound recording. A considerable side benefit of the amendment, which became law on June 23, 2015, is that Canadian artists now benefit from royalties collected from European Union countries with which there had been no reciprocity given that the EU only provided a 70-year copyright protection to nationals of countries which had the same copyright duration as their own. This extension of copyright protection did not extend to Canadian authors (songwriters) which remains at life plus 50 years.

The government announced in August of 2017 that it was kicking off a consultation process to reform the Copyright Board of Canada following strong criticism from the industry on the lack of timely decision-making by the Board. A report from a Senate committee noted, “On average, the Board may take between three and a half to seven years to make a final decision, the result of which is uncertainty and diminished economic activity within Canada’s cultural sector.”

In December of 2017, the Canadian government launched a major review of the Copyright Act. THE COLLECTORS – A HISTORY

The Canadian Music Publishers Association (CMPA), the oldest trade association in Canada, was founded in 1949 but even prior to that, there had been a lot of activity in the area of performing rights and music publishing centered mainly in Toronto. BMI Canada Limited, which would become a founding member of CMPA, launched in May of 1947, in part, to license the repertoire of the U.S. company to Canada. The BMI Canada Limited Publishing division opened that same year in both Toronto and Montreal. (BMI would eventually open the first performing rights office in western Canada, in Vancouver, in 1968, shortly after they relocated the head office from downtown Toronto to its own building in Don Mills where SOCAN is headquartered today.)

The Composers, Authors and Publishers Association of Canada (CAPAC) was already well-established when BMI opened their wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary in 1947. CAPAC had evolved from the Canadian Performing Rights Society (CPRS), which was established in 1925 as a subsidiary of the U.K.’s Performing Rights Society (PRS). In 1930, the U.S. performing rights society ASCAP became a partner in CPRS which in 1945 became CAPAC. In 1963, both ASCAP and PRS transferred their ownership of shares in trust for the members of CAPAC.

By the mid-‘70s, around the time (1975) that CMPA founded the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CM- RRA) to handle music licensing in Canada, BMI began a gradual withdrawal from Canada. On July 1, 1976, BMI Canada became autonomous and its corporate name was subsequently changed to Performing Rights Organization of Canada Limited, a fully-Canadian, not-for-profit organization variously known as P.R.O. Canada and PRO Canada (1977-1986) and PROCAN (1986-1989). In early 1984, preliminary discussions were held concerning a possible merger between PRO Canada and CAPAC. In 1989, a formal agreement between PRO Canada, CAPAC and MPF (Music Promotion Foun- dation) was finalized to form the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).

90 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

L’Association des professionels de l’édition musicale (APEM), like CMPA – and with similar interests – represents francophone music publishers – 830 cata- logues featuring more than 400,000 musical works. Annually, APEM awards the Prix Christopher-J-Reed to an outstanding member of its professional community. It has also created a song lyrics database known as Evangeline, which seeks to expand the outreach of Canadian songs on digital platforms, to document legal sources and archive lyrics.

In Quebec, in May of 1981, exasperated by the state of the laws govern- ing creators and their works, songwriters Luc Plamondon, subsequently an inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Diane Juster and Lise Aubut founded Société professionnelle des auteurs et des compositeurs du Québec (SPACQ) with the initial mission of defending – and advocating for – the moral, professional and economic rights of songwriters and composers.

Société du droit de reproduction des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs au Canada (SODRAC) was founded in 1985 by the SPACQ; the Société pour l’administration du droit de reproduction mécanique (SDRM Canada), a subsidiary of the Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique (SACEM), the French collective management society founded in 1851; and the Société des droits d’exécution du Canada (SDE). SODRAC is a collective management society which grants licences for all reproductions of musical and artworks representing authors, composers, music publishers and crea- tors and co-creators of artistic works.

In 2002, CMRRA and SODRAC undertook a joint venture as CSI, which licenses the reproduction rights in the joint repertoire of CMRRA and SODRAC to various music users, including radio stations, satellite radio, background music services and online & mobile music services. CSI’s stated role is to provide a convenient one-stop licensing shop to access a worldwide music repertoire for use in Canada.

Neighbouring rights were enacted in Canada in the 1997 amendment to the Copyright Act. That same year, Re:Sound, then known as the Neighbouring Rights Collective of Canada (NRCC), was established. The founding mem- bers were the ACTRA Performers’ Rights Society (ACTRA PRS, now ACTRA RACS), the American Federation of Musicians (AFM, now MROC), La Société de gestion collective de l’Union des artistes (ArtistI), Audio-Video Licensing Agency (AVLA, now CONNECT Music Licensing) and La société de gestion collective des droits des producteurs de phonogrammes et de vidéogrammes du Québec (SOPROQ). Re:Sound membership has since expanded to include Sony Music Entertainment Canada, Warner Music Canada Co., and Universal Music Canada Inc.

91 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

ACTRA-RACS, created in 1998, represents more than 6,500 recording artists domestically and countless more through its reciprocal agreements.

CONNECT Music Licensing, previously known as AVLA, administers licenses in Canada for the reproduction of sound recordings, and the reproduction and broadcast of music videos on behalf of the copyright owners, usually the record companies, as well as artists and producers. Since 2016, CONNECT and Re:Sound have been working to- gether to streamline data flow and distribution processes to maximize revenue streams to CONNECT members.

In Canada, manufacturers and importers of blank audio recording media are required to collect a levy on the media they sell in order to compensate performers, sound recording makers, songwriters and publishers for the copying of their works by private individuals. The levy is collected by the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) and distrib- uted to MROC among other collectives, via Re:Sound, for further distribution to the performers it represents. The tariff for 2018 and 2019 covering CD-R/CD-RWs and CD-R Audio/CD-RW Audio is 29 cents.

A shift in the landscape for royalty collection in Canada came in July of 2016 when SOCAN acquired Audiam, the New York-based company founded by Jeff Price, who had acted for a time as a SOCAN consultant. The company already had a presence in Canada representing reproduction rights, a space long held by the CMRRA, which represents the majority of rights holders doing business in this country. Besides creating a potential efficiency for rights holders in bundling both mechanicals and performing rights, SOCAN CEO Eric Baptiste has said that it was Audiam’s unique technology and expertise in unlocking addition royalties from major digital services that were the main attraction for the acquisition. SOCAN, which had previously been in merger talks with CMRRA, also acquired MediaNet, a Seattle- based company which “designs custom music licensing and technology solutions.”

If you have an artist who makes an impact, we know, from a historical point of view, Ed Sheeran is no different from Supertramp. He keeps coming back to the market. This is a very hard market to break as an indie company unless you actually have your artist come here and tour and be part of the domestic scene. I joke with friends of mine that it feels like Ed Sheeran has never left. It seems like every day he’s doing another tour.

You have to understand the modern marketplace the way it is. We’re becoming more of a streaming marketplace rather than a physical one. In some regards, you have to be able to do more than one thing here. The key to the potential artist explosion of the next generation is visual media or television production where you can actually get somebody on TV for something other than making music. I’m taking that from when I was in Ja- pan recently. If you are an emerging Canadian artist and you are going to Japan, you’d better be ready to be on a cooking show and become a bit of a media personality as well as a great look- ing young guy and a singer. I think that situation needs to be duplicated in Canada.

It’s like any other business, if you don’t put in the time, you won’t make a dime. It’s that simple. Spotify is not going to break a record and get radio promoters to look at it. You’ve got to be here with an artist. If I was talking to a publisher coming in from the outside, the number one thing I would ask is, “Are you administrative or are you creative?” There are enough administrative publishers to make the world go ‘round but they’re not going to do a damn for you if you are trying to develop a writer. Pro-activity is the lifeblood of the independent publisher. If you don’t have the ability to provide opportunities for your writers by sending them to foreign ter- ritories, you will never make an impact here.

My writers have been to 13 different countries. The United States just happens to be one of them because somebody got the SOCAN house or something like that. The United States is not a core market for my company. It doesn’t make a significant difference to us bottom-line wise. I do business in Japan, Spain, Portugal, the UK, the Benelux countries, Taiwan and, to a lesser degree France and Germany, which we are just starting to en- gage. I was flown in by Export Music Poland last year to speak at their conference on doing business in Japan.

98 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT INTERVIEW ERIC BAPTISTE, CEO, SOCAN

You have a unique perspective on the Canadian music market given the number of years you have spent at CISAC. How would you compare Canada’s progress in the matter of fair value for music and the strides made toward that goal to other countries in the world?

Canada is a unique market. Geographically, Canada is of course very close to the biggest music market in the world, and Canada itself is really two markets with very different dynam- ics: Quebec and the rest of Canada. It did take a bit longer for Canada to embrace digital fully, but we have now done it with a vengeance. We have one of the highest penetration rates for streaming- or subscription-video-on-demand services, and impressive growth of interactive streaming services, and yet we are still enjoying impressive resilience of “traditional” media.

From a SOCAN perspective, we are seeing solid “upstream” numbers in our collections, but less satisfying “downstream” numbers – the amounts that go to Canadian music creators and publishers. This is important, as music creation is an eco- system: royalties that are distributed today to Canadian crea- tors and publishers will seed the next generation of Canadian music, who in turn will feed into the next generation, and so on.

You have significantly changed the culture at SOCAN and I wonder if there were some specific goals you had when you first arrived?

In 2010, I knew SOCAN was already one of the best music rights organizations in the world, thanks to forward-thinking governance and a good CEO who preceded me. I wanted to build upon that and make SOCAN one of the global leaders via great repertoire, increased cost efficiency and innovative tech and services. We had to be bold, while keeping a focus on the Canadian industry and market. We could only get where we are today, and heading the future, with a great leadership team, mixing people with deep roots in the Canadian music ecosys- tem and those bringing views from other businesses.

In a short period, we have worked to change SOCAN’s business I was proud for SOCAN. This is a team and I only am a player on and workplace cultures for the better. This has helped us not that team. While I was honoured to receive the recognition, it is simply to compete in new areas and regions, but to lead, often by like being named a Most Valuable Player – MVPs almost always example. come from excellent teams, and that is certainly the case here. It was an honour also that my peers at CISAC elected me as One of the figures that jumped out of the recent SOCAN year-end chair of the board a few years ago, as this was the first time that report, besides the fact that SOCAN had a record year for revenue, someone from Canada has held the position. was the one downer that members who received payment for streamed music last year earned an average of $38.72. What is the The global music stars who call SOCAN home of course fill me dynamic at work behind that figure and do you see a turnaround with pride.

These include our Royalty Personally, I am pleased to be recognized as someone who uses Guru tool, a suite of APIs, and a multi-million-dollar investment in data and tech to deal with headaches created by data and tech. our IT infrastructure over the last five years. Here at SOCAN, as in other companies and organizations before, I always strive to be an innovator. Status quo is never the best We have been able to distribute more to our members through option – particularly for leaders. substantially reduced costs. We are doing a lot more with a lot less. SOCAN is the only major music rights organization with an actual decrease in real money (measured in Euros, since that is the CISAC reference currency), and not simply a percentage decrease against increased collections.

However, a significant part of our growth has come from digital. Streaming is incredibly competitive, with a few music creators commanding an impressive share of listening time worldwide. SOCAN is very fortunate that quite a few of these global stars of streaming services are SOCAN members: Drake, the Weeknd, Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes to name a few. Yet, even with these globally successful stars, the reality of streaming royalties is not good – on average. One or two gadflies incessantly try to have you believe that everyone is benefitting hugely from the shift to digital. Those uninformed claims are simply not true. But we have faith that the system will become more equitable so that music creators and publishers receive their fair share in return for the making the musical heart that is truly at the core of digital streaming behe- moths currently enjoying disproportionate revenues.

You were named an International Power Player by Billboard for last year. On the road to that recognition, are there things you are particularly proud of accomplishing during your eight years at SOCAN?

For one, that same year, advocacy group the Canadian Inde- pendent Record Production Association (CIRPA) was born, which helped spawn the creation of FACTOR (the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings) and several other funding agencies that offer grants to music businesses and musicians. FACTOR’s significance as a driving force in the economic development of the Canadian music brand cannot be overstated.

Within a few short years of the CanCon regs coming into force, concert promoters Michael Cohl and Donald K Donald negoti- ated with a network of regional concert promoters to create a national concert platform that stretched from the Maritimes to BC. Once in place, strong regional headliners such as April Wine, Trooper, and the Stampeders almost overnight became national headline attractions.

In the late ‘70s, CHUM-owned Citytv approved John Martin to produce The NewMusic, a cutting-edge weekly music and pop culture program that cast the spotlight on many Canadian art- ists and eventually evolved to become the 24-hour music video channel, MuchMusic. In its day, MuchMusic was the dominant national music influencer responsible for turning a galaxy of upstart acts into nationally identifiable ‘80s pop stars. 105 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

It was as if the CRTC was acting as if it were Louis X1V from the Palace of Versailles, indifferent to the impact it would have on Canada’s private broadcasters, many of whom where fervent nationalist who needed coaxing and not a cattle prod to move them.

Eventually the animosities subsided and, eventually, the cream of Canada’s music creative spirit succeeded–but the regs have yet to produce one identifiable Canadian global record label brand. Instead, it has paved the way for global record compa- nies to access the Canadian market and shovel wealth abroad. We can hear Edward Bear, but we don’t own Drake’s IP wealth and regional music stars don’t exist on radio anymore. It was a nice idea and executed by mandarins without any understand- ing of the economic impact it would exact.

You need to determine that from the beginning to “Going Global: Investing in US Immigration,” a guide to US appropriately navigate the case. You have to look at the defini- immigration. She is a keynote speaker at the 2018 edition of tion of what they want to do and the legal definition of work in Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Canada. In the case of musicians or singers, you have to look at the locations. Are they going to be performing in restaurant/ bars? Are they going to be doing big venues? Who will they be working with? Who is the management? It is very job specific unlike the U.S., where they allow for some jumping around. On the Canadian side, that is just not the case. However, if they are only coming in to Canada to perform at restaurants, or similar less prestigious venues, they don’t really define that as work actually. They even waive the requirement of getting a visa. On the U.S. side, the definition of work is any activity on U.S. soil that requires compensation in the immediate or deferred. So, the answer to the question of what actions need to be taken depend on the geography, on who they are working with. That’s where you would start. You would start with the goals and the circum- stances around what they are coming in to do.

Canada announced it had waived work permits in June 2014. Government announcements of that sort are rarely as cut-and- dried as they first sound.

Canadian Immigration I’m sure would like to attract talent and make this a place of innovation within the arts but at the same time I think there has also been a lot of scrutiny and some pretty stringent rules adopted, especially around music, about admissi- bility.

That’s another thing that’s important to talk about with the Whenever I talk to a music producer from France, let’s say, who client: what are your goals short and long term. A lot of people is transitioning and expanding their offices into Canada, our that want to come in, want to come in right away… tomorrow. conversation is never just about immigration. There are always You dig into the case and you go, “Wait a minute! You need other things that clients need to consider and they can get a waiver here and there’s another issue over here…” It takes really burned if they don’t and might not even be able to come time to process and then there’s the actual border experience, in despite having obtained a visa. How are you bringing your going to the border and what can happen there with the packet product into Canada and does it observe the rules of Canada? in hand. We have good solid relationships with supervisors You can take care of yourself and the artist or artists with whom at the border to help navigate through it.

Think about the tax side. Is it going to be worth it for you? There are It depends on what the circumstances are. If it involved, let’s loads of opportunities here. Canada is such a rich environment say, a DUI, you would need months to get things in order. If it’s in which to collaborate with other artists. We have a tremendous a straight, run-of-the-mill case, you still need to do the labour love of the arts here in Canada and there is a lot of opportunity market analysis. You would also need a project employer. for growth. Another interesting thing to observe between the Canadian and U.S. model: it is very unusual to have an artist who is only To make things go smoothly, it’s all about the pre-planning so you going to work with one entity when they come into Canada. It’s are aware of any pitfalls and how to navigate them. These con- really rare. Unless they are a huge star, who is going to work sultations are not to be feared.

It’s a big community but it’s also a small community as well. and things of that nature. That’s why, when we first take on the cases, we have to spend a lot of time at the consultation to find out if there’s enough there to go forward with the labour market analysis.

Of course, the union needs to be involved when people are transitioning into the country. The union concurrence letter they provide is much similar to the U.S. Some would argue that it tends to be too much of a rubber stamp. You get an opinion letter and the suggestion is that there should be more stringent requirements from the unions before the applicants can come in, especially when coming to Canada.

I understand you have a wider view on dealing with clients in the music industry who are coming into a country to do busi- ness or even set one up.

We also do music licensing too and I think it’s really great to talk about music law and immigration together because there’s a check list of things that people need to think about when they are creating and recording music and also want to be citizens of the world. There are certain organizations that they need to respect – the regulatory institutions when you are coming into a new jurisdiction.

TOURING IN CANADA

Though the distribution of music in Canada was simplified as the era of digital technology and the Internet dawned, the immense size of Canada continues to impact touring in this country. Modern transportation and a network of major highways has certainly made things a lot less problematic for touring than in the days when “None of the Roads Were Paved,” that being the title of the book by the late musician, music publisher and jingle king Robert Hahn which documented how his father taught the four kids in the family music in order to escape the ravages of the Great Depression being keenly felt in their home province of Saskatchewan. In 1936, The Harmony Kids as they came to be known, featuring siblings Robert, Lloyd, Kay and Joyce Hahn, headed eastward across Canada from frontier Saskatch- ewan to the bright lights of Broadway in the customized trailer their father had built to transport the family as they made pass-the-hat appearances along the way at clubs, barns and radio stations. Jerry Lee Lewis recalls some dates he did in Canada with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison back in the ‘50s, speeding down the roads between gigs “with rocks flying as high as a building.”

Two decades later, some of the first major tours of the country, which now included many of the secondary markets which had not been exposed to most of the artists they were hearing on their home-town radio stations, were pro- duced by Montreal-based promoter Donald Tarlton (Donald K. Donald Productions) who put together cross-Canada tours by Canadian artists like April Wine and The Stampeders. April Wine’s Stand Back tour of Canada in the spring and summer of 1975 comprised an unprecedented 57 dates from coast-to-coast. That was the beginning of a viable touring circuit in Canada which usually involved dates at arenas in cities and towns, large and small, which had been built for the national pastime of ice hockey.

A quick look at the most recent Pollstar year end charts (2017) for ticket sales and concert grosses, it’s obvious that an increasing number of Canadian artists can not only fill the largest venues in this country but also in the rest of North America and around the world.

FOREIGN ARTISTS WORKING IN CANADA

The Canadian Federation of Musicians (CFM), an organization of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, has issued an information sheet for the benefit of foreign artists working in Canada. The docu- ment covers the hiring of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) in entertainment and film and the applicability of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada or a work permit from Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) in order to work in Canada. You can access the document here: http://www.cfmusicians.org/uploads/file/FA%20Info%20Sheet%20_quick%20edit%202017_.pdf

Tax compliance for non-resident performers and their employers under legislation set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) can be daunting but as with most things that come with a paper trail, understanding your obligations comes down to concentrating your mind on the logic of the applicable regulations. These are the CRA forms with which you will need to familiarize yourself in keeping yourself right with the tax folks in Ottawa.

FORM RC1 – REQUEST FOR A BUSINESS NUMBER AND CERTAIN PROGRAM ACCOUNTS https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/rc1/rc1-17e.pdf

FORM RC59 – BUSINESS CONSENT FOR ACCESS BY TELEPHONE OR MAIL https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/rc59/rc59-09-17e.pdf This form gives a representative access to your business number program accounts only by telephone and mail.

The guidelines are not intended to determine whether a non-resident person has a fixed base or permanent establishment in Canada.

TOLL ROADS

There are four toll roads in Canada of which you should be aware: The Cobequid Pass (Nova Scotia); Autoroute 30 (Quebec); Highway 407 (Ontario) and Highway 412 (Ontario). Payment options are not all the same. The Cobequid Pass (Highway 104), Nova Scotia The 45 km/28 mi tolled section of Highway 104 in Nova Scotia which runs between Thomson Station and Masstown. It has both electronic toll collection, for those pre-enrolled in the program, and a toll plaza near the halfway point at Londonderry at which operators only accept cash. Tolls are $4 for cars and $3 per axle for commercial vehicles. www. cobequidpaas.com/COB/About/TollsAndFees Autoroute 30/Autoroute de l’Acier/A30Express (Quebec) Autoroute 30 (A-30) is a 161.3 km/100.2 stretch of highway which allows those travelling along the 1150 km/710 mi highway system, comprising Highway 401 in Ontario and Autoroute 20 in Quebec known collectively as the Que- bec City-Windsor Corridor/Corridor Quebec-Windsor, to bypass the urban areas of Montreal Island. The toll booth is located at the St. Lawrence Bridge between the Soulanges Tunnel and the Serge-Marcil Bridge linking Les Cedres to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. The only accepted payment methods are transponder, which is free, Visa/Mastercard and cash where tollbooth operators are present. There are well-marked, designated toll booth lanes for each option. Toll fees as of February 1, 2018 are $1.40 per axle for a Category 1 vehicle (less than 230 cm/7.55 ft in height) and $2.10 per axle for a Category 2 vehicle (equal to or higher than 230 cm/7.55 ft in height.) www.a30express.com

Highway 407 (Ontario) Known for the major part of its length (138.7 km/86.2 mi) as 407 Express Toll Route (407 ETR), the highway runs east to west north of Toronto, from Taunton Road in Clarington, to the east, and the junction of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and Highway 403 in Burlington, to the west. It was the first electronically-operated toll highway opened in the world. There are no toll booths but rather a camera is used at each entry point and exit to capture the license plate number of the vehicle electronically and automatically calculate the toll depending on the distance travelled. NB According to the 407ETR website, “It is mandatory for all heavy vehicles to have a valid transponder. Without a valid transponder, you run the risk of being charged under the Highway Traffic Act.” When driving a rental vehicle, the amount of the calculated toll is sent to the rental agent who will add the amount, plus an administration fee, to your credit card. The tolls can be expensive so it is worth going to the 407 ETR website where you can calculate the fee (see below). There are alternative, non-toll highways running east to west through Toronto. Highway 401 (Macdonald- Cartier Freeway), which stretches 828 km/514 mi from the Quebec/Ontario border to the Windsor/Detroit border, runs through the city to the north. The Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), which runs through the city to the south initially as the Gardiner Expressway, becomes the QEW at Highway 427 travelling 139.1 km/86.4 mi to the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie. www.407etr.com/en/tolls/rate-charts/rate-chart-complete or, in French, www.407etr.com/fr/tolls/rate-charts/rate- chart-complete. Highway 412 (Ontario) Highway 412 runs approximately 10 km/6.2 mi from Highway 401 to the south and to the eastern extension of High- way 407 (407E) to the north. The entire route lies within Whitby in the Regional Municipality of Durham. The same toll rates of Highway 407E apply. www.407etr.com/en/tolls/rate-charts/rate-chart-complete or, in French, www.407etr. com/fr/tolls/rate-charts/rate-chart-complete. AIRLINES

We knew that it would be costly Taylor Swift and Johnny Reid. initially, but I felt that it was important for our artists to not be only thinking of Canada while they were trying to conquer Nashville. It goes back to my global ambitions right from the beginning.

We started with Jason McCoy and I found ways to get him down there. We broke even the first time and then, subsequent- ly, we were able to put a few packages together with the help of some of the Canadian government folks. One thing led to another and ultimately, with Jason, Corb Lund and Doc Walker and now Dean Brody, Tim Hicks and Road Hammers, we’ve had them down there either playing the key festivals or doing tours. A lot of artists go in and out of Australia, but I’m not sure they are necessarily doing it right. We made sure we were working with the right people who were going to give us the best access to maximize the opportunities once we were on the ground.

If I’m a manager from the U.K. or Australia, or any other foreign territory, and I’m looking at Canada as a destination market the same way you looked at Australia, are their opportunities if you come and interact with the industry here?

I think it’s difficult. The Canadian Content regulations for radio

I’ll say America, in Canada, that’s 65 per cent. So in a 65 per cent chart this.

The only Canadian artists who seemed to really you can imagine how challenging it is for an Australian or British take it to another level were the ones that started getting deals artist who is not coming into Canada by way of Nashville. in America.

154 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT

How much of an impact did CMT and the televised Canadian Country Music Awards show have on the growth of the country busi- ness here?

The award show got better and the ratings were half decent between CBC and CMT and everybody who got involved, all of a sudden you could put a million-dollar production together. Maybe that pales a little bit to the JUNO Awards and other awards shows but all of a sudden our artists were going up on stage and looking pretty big. Whether they had played enough shows to justify that place, it was still the process. CMT up here had a moment there when they were out championing the domestic scene. Half of their videos had to be Canadian. Not only were they playing the videos, they were also investing in the videos. Part of the condition of their license was to put money into those videos, so all of a sudden a lot of domestic artists have not only one video but five or six. A lot of artists literally had a video for every single they put out. That eased a lot of the cost to the labels.

Country has always gone through its waves. After the Garth Brooks era, things went down and then came back during the Sha- nia era and then went back down again. When the tide started to rise again for country music in Nashville, all of a sudden there were ten more artists than normal in Canada. Somewhere in that combination of things like CMT and radio and support and more entrepreneurs, all the major labels and five more independents, somehow, someway, with the spotlight being on the format, all of a sudden three or four artists are popping and being able to play larger venues.

It has taken a long time to get to that point but we’ve got a lot of satisfaction from the fact that Dean Brody has done three arena tours, one of them with Paul Brandt. Keep in mind that some of the shows are cut-down arenas some are full arenas, a bit of a mixed bag, but it’s not theatres and clubs like it used to be. Tim Hicks is out there doing arenas in Ontario and Dallas just went and did a bunch of dates in some arenas. Johnny Reid, who started out as a country artist, had gone out and done arena shows. We’ve had a hand in a lot of them and again it’s entrepreneurial ambition, the artists all believing in the plan, going out and marketing and mining that community in a series of events. You had to get some people into the game who were willing to go and take those chances. Some people were really taking the philosophy of making as much money as they could in Canada and then try their luck in America and that wasn’t necessarily happening for everybody. With Johnny Reid selling the albums he was selling and doing the business he was doing, along with a few others, people took notice that these artists were not going to America. They were making a living in Canada.
