So bloody true. My husband and I were just complaining about that yesterday. My husband was asking me what the CRTC fee was and "can we stop paying it".
You can stop paying it like this - OTA - over the air TV, it is free.
I can recommend OTA TV, But obviously not for Indian channels.

After the initial purchase of an antenna, the $8 a month fee for Netflix is less expensive than cable or satellite.
