Excellent, thanks for tracking those down! About 50% (1600 of 3000 items) of the original archive, uploaded Aug-Oct 2023.
Now to figure out what's missing. At first glance, it's missing the world-best TV series about investment banking and stock trading by humans, Traders (1996), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traders_(TV_series).
The YouTube channel for publicly-funded restoration of Canadian content was deleted in late 2022, with little warning to archivists, https://playbackonline.ca/2022/11/21/cmf-to-shutter-cancon-youtube-channel-encore/
> The channel had nearly 200,000 subscribers and more than 50 million views ... Over 3,000 pieces of Canadian content were digitized and restored through the project.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Media_Fund
> The fund is composed of contributions made by Canadian broadcasting... and the federal government. It funds roughly $750 million annually... On November 17 and 18, 2022, official platforms announced that after more than five years of availability, the service... was to shut down on November 30th. All media was wiped from both YouTube channels on that date, and the Twitter account and Facebook page with lists of content and discussion were made unavailable.
That was six months ago, content has not (yet?) been published elsewhere, https://cmf-fmc.ca/news/encore-to-explore-new-avenues/
> made possible through a collaborative effort between CMF teams and the industry (Telefilm, unions and guilds, producers, creators, distributors, etc). In total, the project helped preserve our cultural heritage by digitizing and restoring over 3,000 pieces of content that directly contributed to Canada’s audiovisual legacy. In addition, the project resulted in some global sales of the newly digitized Canadian content, new opportunities for fans to see older works that had not been available online, and renewed interest in the content and creators that the CMF (and former CTF) proudly funded.
No indication where the content can be purchased. Not even a historical list of the content that was restored and digitized. One example of great Canadian content was the 1990s TV series Traders, which won many awards and remains the best fictional treatment of investment banking, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traders_(TV_series)
