\n\tTikTok is taking the Canadian government to court.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast month, the popular social media app was ordered by the federal government to \u201cwind down\u201d<\/a> its operations in Canada following a national security review.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe will challenge this order in court,\u201d TikTok said at the time.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, the company is following through<\/a> on the promise. TikTok Canada has filed notice of application for judicial review, which is an official legal challenge to the decision.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis order would eliminate the jobs and livelihoods of our hundreds of dedicated local employees \u2013 who support the community of more than 14 million monthly Canadian users on TikTok, including businesses, advertisers, creators, and initiatives developed especially for Canada,\u201d the company wrote on its official website. \u201cWe believe it\u2019s in the best interest of Canadians to find a meaningful solution and ensure that a local team remains in place, alongside the TikTok platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTikTok posted the whole legal filing on its website, which you can read here<\/a>. The document breaks down the order of events, suggesting TikTok cooperated with the security review but was surprised by the abrupt announcement.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company is requesting a court date to challenge the decision in Vancouver, B.C., one of the two locations of its offices. The other is in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe filing calls the order \u201cgrossly disproportionate\u201d and says it \u201cwill result in the termination of hundreds of employees in Canada and the potential termination of over 250,000 contracts with Canadian-based advertisers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe legal filing also focuses on the impact to those creators who use the platform, stating that the order \u201cwill cause the destruction of significant economic opportunities and intangible benefits to Canadian creators, artists and businesses, and the Canadian cultural community more broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe federal government made the decision to shut down TikTok\u2019s Canadian operations following a review of its Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd., calling the operation \u201cinjurious to national security.\u201d Canadian users would still be able to use and access TikTok, but the company would be forced to close its offices in Canada.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe filing follows a new law in the United States that would require ByteDance to divest TikTok by January 19, 2025 or face a ban in the country. \u2013 Richard Trapunski<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\tCharlotte Day Wilson to Play Special Orchestral Concert in Toronto in 2025\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tCharlotte Day Wilson<\/strong> is preparing for a hometown concert that she calls \u201ca dream opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Feb. 28, 2025, the Grammy nominated R&B\/soul singer-songwriter will play a Red Bull Symphonic concert with members of the the Symphonic Orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall, the home of the acclaimed Toronto Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

\n\tTickets go on sale Friday, December 13, 2024 at redbull.ca\/symphonic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrevious editions of Red Bull Symphonic in Atlanta and Los Angeles have featured Rick Ross and Metro Boomin, plus special guests including John Legend, Swae Lee and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt will be the first orchestral concert for Wilson, and she\u2019s approaching it as a full vision of her current state as a musician.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want people to come away from it understanding the musical makeup that I have and of my sense of self within music,\u201d Charlotte Day Wilson tells<\/a> Billboard Canada<\/em> over Zoom from her apartment in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe\u2019s still in her early 30s, but Wilson has been recording and performing for well over a decade. With two albums and multiple EPs, she has a full body of work to play from, and she\u2019s excited to rethink it in a new context.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer 2024 album, Cyan Blue<\/em>, has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, and though Jack Rochon was the primary engineer, Wilson says the two of them made everything in the room together as \u201can exchange of two people producing and engineering and writing all in tandem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCharlotte Day Wilson\u2019s soulful voice and songwriting chops have become a secret weapon for many renowned musicians. She\u2019s performed and collaborated with Kaytranada, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, BadBadNotGood and Nelly Furtado, and one of her songs was even sampled by Drake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Grammy recognition and the ability to do a full-scale orchestral concert feels like a mark of wider recognition in a field that can often include a lot of isolation. It also feels like a \u201cmaturing moment,\u201d she says, which fits her mindset right now.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s something I think about a lot as an artist,\u201d she says. \u201cIn an industry that is ruthlessly obsessed with youth, how do we graduate into a next chapter of life and still maintain our integrity and relevance. That\u2019s something I think about all the time, and it\u2019s something I want to approach really deliberately.\u201d \u2013 R.T.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\tPatrick Watson\u2019s \u2018Je te laisserai des mots\u2019 Becomes First French-Language Song To Hit A Billion Spotify Streams\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tCanadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson has made history on Spotify.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis 2010 song \u201cJe te laisserai des mots\u201d is now the first French-language song to hit a billion streams on the platform.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song, a wistful composition led by piano and strings, was first written for the 2009 film M\u00e8res et Filles.<\/p>\n

\n\tListeners clearly agreed that the song has a cinematic quality: it went viral in 2021 and 2022, used by thousands of TikTokers \u2014 including Justin Bieber \u2014 to soundtrack serene or sad moments in their own lives during Covid restrictions.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatson joins Bieber and other Canadian artists<\/a> like Drake, Tate McRae, Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes in Spotify\u2019s Billions Club. Most of the other Canadian members are major label signees with a pop-oriented sound, which makes Watson \u2014 an acclaimed indie singer-songwriter represented by Montreal\u2019s Secret City Records \u2014 a more unusual entry into the club.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u201cJe te laisserai des mots\u201d was the most-streamed French language track both in Canada and globally this year on Spotify, while the veteran songwriter and producer is the No. 6 most popula<\/a>r Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois artist on Spotify this year in Canada. He finishes alongside Quebec legends Les Cowboys Fringants and Celine Dion, pop star Charlotte Cardin and rappers Souldia and Enima.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpotify notes that since 2019, listening to music in French has jumped by 94% on the app \u2014 which means after Watson, another Billions Club French-language song could only be a matter of time. \u2013 Rosie Long Decter<\/em><\/p>\n
