I don't think Canadians would call it paranoia. In theatre [ with the rights to plays at issue] and in movies and on television we have beenconsidered part of a unified market for years by Jack Valenti and the boys. We have no control over the distribution systems and , unlike Europe, no laws about the porportion of foreign to somestic production shown in our movie houses. Mulroney's government "tried" with limited success during the Freetrade and then the NAFTA talks to protect Canadian cultural sovereignty by limiting "Free" trade in movies and television. spcifically by maintaining content regulations in on-air music play and on television's primetime. Nationalists in Canada greeted the success of France which won exemptions for some froms of cultural productions, including movies and telelvision at the GATT talks with relief.
