Matthew Good's song isn't Cancon?

The song has to satisfy a certain amount of criteria to be CanCon. It's not just about if the artist is Canadian or not. I hope somebody else can provide more details.

[Arson]

I think the four criteria are Artist, Music, Lyric and Production.

And you need two of them! I think!

1. To qualify as 'Canadian content' a musical selection must generally fulfill at least two of the following conditions:

M (music) -- the music is composed entirely by a Canadian.
A (artist) -- the music is, or the lyrics are, performed principally by a Canadian.
P (production) -- the musical selection consists of a live performance that is

(i) recorded wholly in Canada, or
(ii) performed wholly in Canada and broadcast live in Canada.

L (lyrics) -- the lyrics are written entirely by a Canadian.

2. There are four special cases where a musical selection may qualify as Canadian content.

* The musical selection was recorded before January 1972 and meets one of the above conditions.

* It is an instrumental performance of a musical composition written or composed by a Canadian.

* It is a performance of a musical composition that a Canadian has composed for instruments only.

* The musical selection was performed live or recorded after September 1, 1991 and, in addition to meeting the criterion for either artist or production, a Canadian who has collaborated with a non-Canadian receives at least half of the credit for both music and lyrics.
