There is a lot of Canadian content on HGTV--excellent real estate shows.
How about "Dream Cruises" shown on the Travel channel?
Spencer Watt's "Big 30" and "Fish the Dish" and "the Urban Vegetarian" with Desiree Neilse are excellent modern cooking shows with great production--shown on Z Living Channel in US
Canada has had some solid shows over the years. I used to watch Kids In the Hall on CBC before it came to the US. I also enjoyed the Littlest Hobo when I was growing up. It was about a nomadic German Shepherd named London who would help people overcome various problems in their lives. Aired back in the late 70s/early 80s, but I still remember watching it very early on Saturday mornings before the US networks signed on. Their children's programming also was great. (The Friendly Giant, Mr. Dressup). Some of their kids game shows even made it on to US television. (5432 Run!, Kidsstreet) which aired on CTV and Global originally, but were picked up by independent stations in US Markets. You Can't Do That on Television was Nickelodeon's flagship program in its early years, but originated from Ottawa. (and featured a pre-teen Alanis Morisette) Pitfall was another Canadian game show I remember well, more because of it's host (a pre-Jeopardy! Alex Trebek) I grew up in the US but lived close enough to the border to get Canadian Television.
I used to watch Flashpoint quite a while ago and didn't realize it was a product of Canada. I absolutely loved that show. Then I started seeing the "main" actor in so many other things. Enrico something?
I don't know what the OP is talking about. Canadian shows are just as good if not better than the crap here in the US. I wish I could watch BBCA but I just can't understand the accents.

BBC America? The only thing they ever show are TOP GEAR and Star Trek: The Next Generation re-runs. They should just rename the channel TOP TREK and be done.

Definitely one of the best.
The actor is Enrico Colantoni. He also appeared, most notably, in “Galaxy Quest,” “Veronica Mars,” and “Person of Interest.”
If you have access to it, ION TV runs some Canadian imports, A couple of my recent favorites are “Private Eyes” and “Saving Hope.”
My most favorite Canadian imports are still “Motive” and “Murdoch Mysteries.” The latter is still running and is available on Ovation as “The Artful Detective.” It’s also streaming on AcornTV.
The CW ran “Burden of Truth” last summer which I also enjoyed. Hoping they run the second season as well.
