Mr. Speaker, I think that the greatest threat to any country comes from the United States of America. Immediately after the war, the Americans sought to impose their culture upon Europeans countries, which were flat broke coming out from the war years.
The international response was: "No way. We will not let American films invade our market this easily". And the famous motion picture production agreement was signed.
When television broadcasting first started here, in Canada, the Americans attempted once more to invade our market, going as far as boycotting Canada for a while. But they eventually realized that we were not giving in and that we were protected against such an invasion by our regulations, so they accepted to sit down and talk. What the Americans are doing now is trying again, in a roundabout way, to impose their culture around the world, from coast to coast, without forgetting anybody, because they can afford to do this. And the day when only American films, soaps, news and variety programs can be seen around the world, this world of ours will no longer be a democratic world because democracy starts up here, in your head.
