That's not entirely NetFlix's fault. Canadian telecommunication collusion also applies to distribution of content. It's much harder to secure copyright licensing in Canada than the US. In the US all the major networks stream their entire content. Canadian broadcasters and telecommunications companies have purposely conspired to prevent this.

Basically, lack of competition in Canada has resulted in companies just doing what they want and not re-investing back into infrastructure and content in a competitive manner.
