Crave offers French version to stream but not the English version?

I wanted to watch "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" and a search returns a French version on Crave but not the English version (unless you pay).

 

I'm wondering if there is a licensening issue or something else going on? This is not the first time I've seen the French version available on Crave but not the English one.

    I lived and learned French on the streets as a kid. People are great, politics not. You are so correct BobArthur 

    Now that you mention it, it does explain the many no english or french shows, not just regular TV, not having an english subtitile. Maybe this will help.

     

    J'ai vécu et appris le français dans la rue quand j'étais enfant. 
    Les gens sont formidables, pas la politique. Vous avez tout Ă  fait raison @BobArthur 
Maintenant que vous le mentionnez, cela explique les nombreuses émissions sans anglais ni français, 
    pas seulement à la télévision ordinaire, sans sous-titres anglais.

    I guess the techs hired by Telus only speak french, that would explain a lot.

    I can't remember the name of the series but last year my GF and I started watching a show on Crave VOD. After the 2nd season wrapped up on a cliffhanger we were disappointed to see that only the first 2 seasons were available in English but Crave VOD in French had the complete 5 seasons of the show.

    I believe National Lampoons Christmas Vacation was available in French but Not English, Weird for sure. Theat's licensing for you.

      That is absurb, only licensed in French is very hard to believe in a country that must use English and French on all labels.

        As somebody that was born in Quebec and lived there for 30 years I can tell you that if this happened in reverse ( movie or show only available in English ) the crap would hit the fan big time. đŸ˜„

    While you are checking ask them why too many streams have subtitles in multiple languages except ENGLISH
