Canada is weird. Along with what you said, they have a national law in television programming that requires 2 hours of Canadian-produced tv programs for every 1 hour of programming that comes from another country.

So, for every hour of HGTV aired by a Canadian network, they must run 2 hours of Canadian-only material. weird!

2 hours of Canadian-only material that nobody watches.

Luckily, people are cutting their cable and just going to a high speed internet connection and stream what they want when they want.

I believe they do the same with radio stations that they have to play a certain percentage of Canadian artists.
