Identity crisis - Canada

No, you are not seeing double. The earlier 'Identity crisis' post was about Toronto. This one is about Canada.
Except for Degrassi and Hockey Night in Canada, they can't come up with anything on their own. Just like Toronto steals New York's names for its condos, Canada takes American shows and makes them oh-so-Canadian buy sticking the word Canada in the name.
What are some TV shows here? Canadian Idol, So you think you can dance Canada and Project runway Canada. Magazines? Elle Canada. Channels? Bravo Canada and Food Network Canada.
You get the point. Just because you stick Canada in the name doesn't make it Canadian. It's still American. America is hardly a country to emulate and Canada spends a lot of time distinguishing itself from its neighbo(u)r. Yet Canadians watch American TV and read American media.
Come up with your own show, Canada. Preferably something more than 10 people would watch.
