I think either you misheard or misread something, you have been misinformed somewhere or that you need tell somebody to pull the other one, because it has bells on it...
I have never heard of the Canadian gov't outlawing a TV station. I can understand if they had to choose between placing a Cdn News Station and a US one, but that wouldn't outlaw it. There are a number of regulations regarding Canadian content in programming, so maybe the quota for US stations was met.
As far as fining Canadians who do watch it - that's a load of bull. Obviously the ministry of Heritage encourages us to watch Cdn stations and Cdn content, but they would never fine someone.
