What if Canada just decided that copyright protection on the type of material that America streaming companies make crazy profits from was only valid for 25 years?
Like let's be honest here, these companies only make money because of an onerous protection racket that was lobbied for by the likes of the RIAA and MPAA.
Canada is just deciding that they want their cut. That's all it is. There's no good guy here.

But I guess there is no honor among thieves (copyright cartel and Canada). Neither side is morally worth defending. As an aside, weakening copyright law sufficiently would strongly accelerate democratic AI because AI thrives on high quality data.
