This is the key- and I look at the private Canadian Networks (CTV and Global) as the issue. They produce 7 hours per day of news, add in another 5 hours of "Feed the Children" and they have their Cancon which allows them to show US programming in Prime Time.
What I watch more often are the specialty channels; which having been forced to produce their own Cancon have come up with some good shows. Most of the Canadian shows on HGTV are good; same with Discovery Channel.
But the private networks aren't even trying; which is why what they do produce is crap.
