	Popular culture - a definition and history
		Popular culture, or pop culture is the vernacular (people's) culture that prevails in a modern society.
		But popular culture cannot be described as just the aggregate product of those industries; instead, it is the result of a continuing interaction between those industries and the people of the society who consume their products.
		The folkloric element of popular culture is heavily engaged with the commercial element; indeed popular culture might be defined as the kind of folkloric culture that arises under heavy commercial influence.

	MASS MEDIA: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE
		Canadians live next door to the largest exporter of mass media products in the world, and many are concerned about the effect these American products have on Canadian culture.
		The "Trojan horse" of American popular culture has always been of concern to Canadian politicians; Canada's first Royal Commission on broadcasting, the Aird Commission in 1929, was conducted because Canadians were listening to more American than Canadian radio.
		Given that the average Canadian child spends about the same amount of time watching television as he or she does attending school, some concerns may be justified.

		Now, in addition to pestering people about Canadian music, I also enjoy playing it for anyone who will listen or is too shy to say no. I do this with my shoutcast stream (email me if you want more details on that) or by mailing CD’s.
