Speaking as a Canadian, the English-speaking contingent of our society especially has yielded a significant amount of cultural influence to the US, and as a byproduct of that we end up picking up a lot of details about the US from that deluge of media exports. To that point, Canadian broadcasters are actually regulated to ensure they devote a minimum percentage of their air time to what can be classed as Canadian content (aka CanCon), but that doesn't really stop the American culture feed, it just makes sure there's some "Made in Canada" stuff mixed in.

Here's an example of that expressed through the lens of this show: I grew up watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in a one hour block on the local affiliate of a major (Canadian) broadcast network, from 7-8pm.

@@mackenziejohnson5200 Thank you for that explanation. I would suggest that - down here in the US - we have pretty much the opposite problem: our media (information; not necessarily entertainment) is so US immersed that we seldom see or hear anything about other countries, even our next door neighbor Canada (unless the story somehow impacts the US). As far as our other neighbor to the south, the only coverage we get is about border issues, and that is always framed in a (largely negative) political context. That there is a humanitarian aspect of it tends to be ignored. We (the US) are a very blinkered, self-centered society and tend to live in our own information bubble, ignoring the fact that we are a very small fraction of the world’s population. This feeds into the ignorant, entitled, and culturally insensitive way that many Americans act when we visit other countries and contributes to the anti-American feelings we encounter. (BTW, like most US folks, I find I am using “US” and “America” interchangeably. Yes, “America “ is part of our name, but it’s also part of the name of the entire continent. I’m not sure if Canadians are sensitive about this; if so, I apologize.) I think that Canadians doing well on Jeopardy! is great and I hope it is a source of national pride for you.
