I don't know about other provinces, but "In Québec, the Consumer Protection Act prohibits commercial advertising directed at children under 13 years of age." h

  I wasn't aware of that. Does that include toys or child related products? One could say that movies have turned into one long series of product placements.

    It seems to be pretty strict, eg. Example of prohibited advertising: The Rappido Company is advertising a remote-controlled toy car like one seen in an animated film. The advertisement is broadcast on Saturday morning on a TV channel for children during a cartoon program. The ad is in animated film format and shows a young boy who is thrilled to be operating his high-speed car. This ad would be prohibited. But there's no mention of product placement. I imagine that would be hard to account for.
