Canadian Service Availability Tracker

A database and tracker that shows which popular online services, apps, and subscriptions are available or blocked in Canada. Helps Canadian users discover what they can legally access.

Canada's ongoing regulatory friction — Bill C-11, the Online News Act, and the string of high-profile service withdrawals like certain news features from Meta and Google — has created genuine confusion among Canadian consumers about what's actually accessible to them. No clear incumbent exists for a dedicated, structured tracker of this kind, though Reddit threads and scattered news articles serve as a messy substitute. Revenue is the real problem: this is almost certainly an ad-supported or affiliate play at best, since users have no strong reason to pay a subscription fee for what amounts to a reference lookup, which caps ceiling pretty low. The most likely failure mode is maintenance burden — services change access status irregularly and without announcement, so keeping the database accurate requires ongoing manual effort that quickly outpaces any revenue it generates.
