I guess one could blame Netflix Canada for not willing to put up the money City was, but this is the sort of thing Canadians hate.
Two more things:
Yes, I have US Netflix.
This show looks terrible, so at least we're not missing out on something good.

All the networks gloat like that to varying degrees. Global's Got It! I always found it strange that they would be so proud of all their programming that they were getting from somewhere else. They seemed to take a lot of pride in their lineup despite the fact that they produced a negligible amount of the shows they were promoting. Congratulations. There are rules and regulations that restrict American networks from freely broadcasting their own programming in Canada that allow you to purchase those shows and air them on your own networks that may not even exist were it not for those same regulations. Good job, good effort.
