Canadian film channel

We signed up for Optik TV last year. It's been a long time since we've had cable (nearly 20 years), and.. things have really changed. The single-show channels are really a trip. I don't know if everybody gets the same, but we have Three's Company, Walking Dead, Price is Right channels.

It seems setting up a "channel" is easy now, because these things don't require broadcast channels, nor hosts, or most likely even any office space. Somebody programs these things from a desk and advertising it inserted from some package deal that Telus sells.

If it's so easy to do this, why do we not have a Canadian film channel, playing new and old films 24/7? There is a lot of really great stuff out there, but it's hard to find. Some is available on Crave, some doesn't seem to be available on any channels or streaming at all.

Where is Last Night? When can I see Blue Heron? Mile End Kicks?

With the apparent ease of setting up channels, the lack of support for Cancon is mind boggling.
