In Canada, it&#x27;s &quot;the law&quot; (not really, but effectively): the CRTC mandates that a certain percentage of all content on Canadian Netflix be Canadian. Since there is simply not much Canadian content on a global scale, Netflix would have to scrape the barrel getting additional licenses in order to &quot;buy&quot; more space for other content. So they don&#x27;t, and Canadians pretend to be US Americans when they watch Netflix.
