Reply to comment by Not-a-Dog420 in Australia to Impose Local Content Quotas on Streaming Platforms by Sisiwakanamaru

Canada presumably doesn't care because so many shows are filmed there anyway.

Canada has similar quotes and agreements with services. But this likely does explain why Canadian shows are more likely scripted content rather than reality. The infrastructure is there, American shows film there anyway etc... (and, I could be wrong, but I think for streaming at least, filmed in Canada but produced and owned elsewhere counts to quotas)
