Tyler Cowen quotes a couple articles suggesting that the U.S. writers' strike could, in theory, benefit Canadian entertainment industries, in two ways. First, it could help Canadian shows gain viewers in the home market, as there is suddenly less U.S. competition. And second, it could help Canadians sell shows to the U.S. market, as U.S. companies look for content elsewhere (although the article notes that there is no indication they are doing so at this point).
