Get more people watching CBC, the more money you make.

But how many Canadian actors working in Canada are marketable, like say Keifer Sutherland? Most established actors move south. While there are still some talented ones here, not too many have the name recognition to lure an audience. Add to that, the sets, travel, and special effects that American shows can afford, and it is really hard for CBC to compete in that genre.
Maybe we can lure LA FlamesFan back to Canada?
