Fruitman, Steve
- Abstract
In this article the author explains how corporate interests are controlling Canadian media as of June 1999. He states that the economic interests of pop music sponsors has begun to undermine Canadian culture, using publicly owned radio waves to tell Canadians what they should like. He calls this the imposition of pre-fab culture, and while he does not denigrate it per se, accuses it of supplanting traditional forms of entertainment such as folk music. He states that if Canadian values expressed through music are destroyed, its culture becomes supplanted.
