Right now Bell is refusing to carry the Sun network. Sun news has filed a complaint against them. They claim that Bell is just trying to protect CTV which Bell owns from competition. Again a business decision.

That's one side of the argument, the other is that Sun is an OTA broadcaster and so can't charge for their services. Bell doesn't want to pay and seem to be legally right. According to BEll Sun removed it from Bell. Sun claims they are a specialty channel but I don't believe they have yet been approved by the CRTC to be re-classified. When and if they are you should be able to pay your money for it.
