Canada was the second country to get Netflix, but it has always felt insecure about its catalog of titles, according to CEO Reed Hastings.
Hastings told Wired that every Netflix country has its own quirks, and that Canada's is that its Netflix subscribers constantly think the depth of their streaming catalog is inferior.
This feeling exists even though Canada has a few titles that US customers don't have, including the coming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which will be available to Netflix subscribers only in Canada because of the structure of a licensing deal with Disney.
On the whole, Canada has an above-average catalog when looking at the almost 200 countries Netflix operates in. It does, however, have fewer overall titles than the US. According to Unogs, a site that tracks Netflix’s catalog, the US has 5,598 titles, while Canada has 3,349.
