The records that are mentioned in that text blurb at the beginning will include information required to get CanCon tax credits. For most productions, subtitles must be available in English, French, and the Indigenous language(s) spoken in the production location\*. Transcripts must be available. ISBNs can be acquired from Library and Archives Canada\*, and copies of the transcripts must be filed in the national library to meet legal deposit requirements. \*If the production is exclusively in French, pursuant to a derogation registered with the Quebec ministry of culture, the ISBN may be acquired from the _Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec_, and the legal deposit copies may be filed with the _BAnQ_. ---

1. Porn riff must be changed to the one from “Do The Bearcat” by perennial bar star.David Wilcox (the Canadian one). 2. To promote inclusion, displayed smoked meat should include equal amounts of lean and fatty pieces. 3. All players must form neat lines and politely shake hands after play finishes. 4. Safe word must be the same in both official languages, except in Weatern provinces. 5. Québécois performers encouraged to use “notwithstanding clause”. 6. Penalty calls for “high sticking” and “hooking” may be enforced. 7. Any milk on set to come in bags. 8. Use of phrases like “I’m crushing your head” encouraged. ---

I always assumed that because of Canadian’s passive nature and assigning great value to personal space, they don’t actually engage in sexual reproduction. They enjoy _binary fission_ porn. ---

- Any display of “The Group of Seven” must be made with appropriate decorum. - Although the phrase “drilling for oil” is encouraged, no reference may be made to “dirty tar sands”. (Substitution of “Clean, Conscientious Canadian energy” is much preferred). - Tax credit for use of phrase “des plus brilliants exploits”. - The government has no current opinion on the use of the phrases “fishing for smelt”, “tailgate party” or “deep bore tide”. On the face of it, this government idea seems very solid indeed. May the ideas in this thread lead the way for promoting our national values. At long last.
