Our Canadian television providers are in cahoots with the government / CRTC 
which is the equivalent of your FCC. As I wrote before elsewhere, any kind of
application for a conservative-based news channel is almost always denied as 
"nobody wants Fox News North". We did have Sun News but it never caught on.

The closest we have would probably be either the Sun newspaper chain or Rebel 
News. There just isn't any real outlet for anything that isn't the usual 
liberal viewpoint. We also have somewhat vague "hate speech" laws and "human 
rights codes" so you can imagine it would be difficult to air something 
without it being instantly catagorized as the racist/phobic/whatever label.

We have also been denied by our CRTC any kind of real competition from 
American cell providers or cable companies as the Canadian providers are 
much too scared to see their monopoly in jeopardy. So we do not have Verizon
or Time Warner, etc. Naturally, we pay some of the most expensive rates for 
cell phone and Internet service compared to many other countries.

Now the province of Ontario where I live has elected a conservative premier
who is actually doing a good job and being treated mostly fairly and friendly
by our liberal media during this stupid pandemic.
