CanCon allowed Canadian music to succeed domestically and reach international audiences. Sadly, the same doesn't really exist for streaming.
The next best thing is investing in Canada-based streaming services. One that stands out is Fearless.li, an inclusion-oriented streaming service from Toronto. Then of course there is Crave, owned by Bell Media. Shomi was another alternative, owned by Rogers and Shaw, but it shut down in 2016, only two years after it was launched.
OutTV is one of the earliest LGBTQ+ oriented streaming services, dating back to a channel by the same name that was launched in 2001. OutTV offers a wide range of programming, from original series and movies to licensed content from other networks. Some of their most popular titles include "Canada's Drag Race" and "Call Me Mother".
