Anthropic's Claude is still not available in Canada either. Anyone have insight into why its difficult to bring these AI models to Canada when on the surface its political and legal landscape isn't all that different from the US?

We are being singled out because of the Government's Online News Act for tech companies to pay for news links
I'm guessing the online news act is a contributor, but only to a more general conclusion of our content laws being complicated (CanCon, language laws, pipeda erasure rules, the new right to be forgotten, etc) and our country simply doesn't have enough people to be worth the effort of figuring out what's legal and what isn't.
Anthropic is a bit weird and it almost seems more like lazy gating. It's available in the US and UK, but no EU, no Canada, no Australia.
