No, the reason the service wasn't offered in Canada is because many of the rights-holders are different here than in the US, and Apple had to negotiate new deals with all of them. For example, Alliance Atlantis owns the Canadian distribution rights to many films which are owned by other companies elsewhere. The delay had nothing to do with our copyright laws -- afterall, Apple has been selling music on the iTunes store in Canada for many years now.
