For failing to broadcast sufficient levels of Canadian-made pornography and failing to close-caption said pornography properly a trio of Toronto-based erotica channels has earned a reprimand from the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission.
Wednesday, the CRTC issued a broadcast notice saying AOV Adult Movie Channel, XXX Action Clips and the gay-oriented Maleflixxx were all failing to reach the required 35% threshold for Canadian content.
Based on a 24-hour broadcast schedule, that translates to about 8.5 hours of Canadian erotica a day.
The notice was issued as a result of Channel Zeros efforts to renew licences for all three erotica channels. The regulator will review the instances of apparent non-compliance at an April 28 hearing in Gatineau, Que.

Really? They must have all moved to my property in Illinois. They're so tame I rammed one with my kayak a couple of years ago when I assumed he would get out of the way.

Dude, nobody (NOBODY) wants to see naked curling. Until recently, I might have agreed with that assessment. Now...

They need to be on the endangered species list.

I remember Rick Moranis explaining that the Great White North origins were in this exact same law. The government warned SCTV they need more Canadian humor, and the hoser chronicles were born.
