That's the simple answer, anyway.
Where it gets complicated is with
"If there aren't any Canadian sports to show, then look abroad. The US is fine".
Typically in normal times Canadian sports networks don't necessarily prioritize Canadian programming so that statement is not based in reality.
Which in itself is actually OK in specific cases. I don't have an issue with them making a big deal about the Super Bowl or the NCAA basketball final game, over a CHL game between Bathurst and Shawinigan.
The issue is more with how Canadian sports properties get treated on a more general everyday level, compared to run-of-the-mill U.S. sports properties. The latter receiving top-level "domestic" billing and coverage far too often from TSN and SN.
