The reason for the lower selection in Canada is that the same content is licensed to different distributors in Canada and those distributors still see netflix as a threat to their DVD sales and TV/pay-per-view income. As far as bandwidth goes, I don't believe they are trying to charge Netflix, but they are screwing over their consumers. The additional bandwidth "costs" are being passed on to consumers. I'll go into details in my response to the article you posted on the situation -- the article is correct, I'll just add some personal/local details.
