I think Super Channel(not Movie Central) bought the rights to first run SOA episodes in Canada. This was done before FX Canada was green lit so I think they have the rights until the show is over. That's why Justified is on Super Channel as well in terms of first run episodes. Why they show Justified a week later that in the States is a different issue and never made sense to me, but that's neither here nor there.
Shows like American Horror Story and The Americans started after FX Canada started, so that's why those first run episodes are shows on that and not Super Channel or Movie Central.
I'm far from an insider on the matter, but I think this makes the most sense.
