  1. So why is American Netflix getting Season 2 in July, well before CBC airing it here in September? Doesn’t compute…

    1. Because this is certainly not the series the Kevin Sullivan production was and there’s more foreign influence this time.

    2. Agree, Mélanie Joly has a lot to answer for … this is favouring Netflicks over the CBC.

  2. I legitimately can’t fathom why Canadian broadcasters keep giving Netflix first window on shows they co-funded. Piracy from the Netflix streams will be everywhere. Piracy from a Canadian broadcast would be comparatively minimal.

    At least Corus isn’t alone with doing this on ReBoot: The Guardian Code.

    1. With Season 1, CBC aired it months before Netflix was allowed to air it. I’m surprised that is not happening this season.

  3. Ridiculous that the rest of the world can watch Anne now in season 2 but Canadians can’t see it until September. Who decides this stuff?
