Answer 1

The lack of Movies and TV shows is not unique to Canada by any means. The reason that stores for different countries have different content is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies, film companies, TV companies and other copyright holders. These are quite often completely different from country to country and therefore all require their own individual contract negotiations. The varying content is not imposed by Apple, who would have a much easier job if they only had to maintain one multi-national store and deal with one set of licensees. I believe the plan that was announced when the Movies were introduced is to roll them out to other stores sometime this year. However whether or even if the Canadian and UK stores etc. get them in what's left of 2007 will depend on the negotiations with the film distributors for each region.
