This could be why...

Or it could be the myriad of streaming services that don't have half of what you want to watch or aren't available in Canada to begin with.

I guess part of what we pay Ro/Be/lus out the nose for is so they can ignore copyright infringement claims on our behalf.

E: Maybe it was Chrystia Freeland's comment:

"I personally, as a mother and wife, look carefully at my credit card bill once a month, and last Sunday I said to the kids, 'You're older now. You don't watch Disney anymore. Let's cut that Disney Plus subscription,"' Freeland told Global News in an interview that aired on Nov. 6.

Maybe Global News didn't quite catch her saying "and pirate the Disney shows instead" at the end.
