A hypothetical "FoxNews Canada" would presumably have had Canadian conservatives manning the anchor desks, if any were to be found!) or 2) licensing the U.S. broadcast to a Canadian network. (Most Canadian networks show U.S.-licensed programming during prime time. This is why I cannot go to abc.com or nbc.com, etc. and watch their programming online - They do not have the legal right to show me their programming, me being in Canada. That right would belong to whichever Canadian broadcaster they'd licensed their material to.)

Point taken - I was not aware that any Canadian carriers featured (the U.S. broadcast of) FoxNews. Thanks for correcting me! I was also not aware that FoxNews' initial attempt at establishing a FoxNews Canada was supposed to be in cahoots with Global. Ewwwwww.
