Why doesn't Canadian television have great Canadian programs?

Why doesn't Canadian television have great Canadian programs? What is wrong with all the fat cats in charge of creating new Canadian television shows? I'm not saying that all Canadian television shows are bad but come on now... Canada has a lot of acting talent, great directors, great writers, great producers, great locations to shoot, etc.... Why don't all these wonderful ingredients add up to better Canadian television? Have we been exposed to so much American programming that when we watch Canadian programming we've got unreal expectations? Why don't we have a great Canadian t.v show that deals with things that Canadians can relate to?

Don't get me wrong there are great Canadian shows likes Trailer Park Boys, Off The Record, Da Vinci's Inquest, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, etc... But why don't we have more?

I don't think Canada has ever been short on actors and actresses. Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Kiefer Sutherland, Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Perry, Rick Mercer, Hayden Christensen, Dave Foley, Keanu Reeves, Colin Mochrie, Brendan Fraser, William Shatner, Norm MacDonald, etc... are all very successful Canadian actors. Why can't we have any of these big Canadian celebrities in starring roles on Canadian T.V shows?

I just find it so frustrating! I mean American T.V is great don't get me wrong , I just think that Canada is more than capable of making some very awesome great shows.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
