Canada isn't the USA (close...but no cigar) but there are so many things where Canada is lumped in with the US that it was surprising (and probably infuriating for many) that there was no availability of this in Canada especially considering that most Canadians (that I know at least) do get part of their news (International, US) from major US networks. UK, Australia/NZ or Europe for example I can kind of get - but even then apps like Flipboard make generating a customized feed seem surprisingly easy.
So even if Apple had included Apple News in Canada from day one with just no local Canadian news outlets to start - that would have made more sense than what Apple actually did (to me at least). And even with that initial limitation it would have still been used by a lot of Canadians anyway for the International/US news.
