I just don't get it.

If Canadian private television networks had their way, they'd be rebroadcasters of US stations only. (exception: Quebec)
Most English Can-con outside of the CBC is simply done to appease the feds, aside from things like hockey and the Olympics.
This is partly due to laziness (hey, it's easier/cheaper to rebroadcast shit someone else has put work into!) and the fact that the minimal cultural divide between the United States and Canada fades with every passing day.
I'm not sure if it is the media leading this, or this is happening at a societal level and the media is following. Probably both.
