Netflix's CEO told a funny story about the biggest quirk of Canadian Netflix users
Thomson ReutersCanada's PM TrudeauCanada 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 believe the depth of their streaming catalog is inferior.
This feeling exists even though Canada has a few titles that even US customers don't have, including the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which will only be available to Netflix subscribers in Canada because of the structure of a licensing deal with Disney.
But perhaps Canadians are just comparing themselves to the US.
While Canada has a perfectly above-average catalog when looking at the almost 200 countries Netflix operates in, it does have fewer overall titles than the US. According to Unogs, a site that tracks Netflix's catalog, the US has 5,598 while Canada has 3,349.
