    And it is why there is no FOX Canada.

I don't know if you mean there is no broadcast of FOX News in Canada, or if there is no Canada tailored FOX. Either way, it got me on a path of wondering where in the world FOX News is available and I found these:

So FOX News is broadcast in Canada, and from the looks there are quite a lot of cable providers that do.

That being said, if you mean a Canada centric FOX News, I think FOX in general pretty much only cares about the US and doesn't even really cater to other countries' politics. If it's true there is no FOX catered news for other countries, it's probably just because they don't give a damn about other countries. They tend to like reporting on the US Congress, the US executive branch, etc.

Yes, but I believe Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who has his hands on networks in other countries as well. So it could stand to reason, he owns other sources in other nations that are just as messed up.

It is owned by Rupert Murdoch. I think, though, that FOX News might more have to do with Rupert Murdoch giving them an idea or overarching concept, and FOX running with it. I highly doubt he has much to do with the individual programming even if it follows his worldview.

But that is a good point that he might have his hands in other misleading news organizations around the world, he could have given the same goals to other news companies. I don't have the time to research such a large task but it would be interesting to find out.
