Even at the time, [[https://brioux.tv/2008/12/olympic-cash-crunch-crushes-canadian-idol/ many critics weren't buying]]. The ''real'' reason the show went off the air was because ratings dropped with each successive season (by season six, they were averaging less than 500,000 viewers[[note]]down from a peak of over 4 million in the first season[[/note]]) and most of these were outside the large urban areas that had the most desirable demographics), and the show's very high price tag was hard for CTV to justify since they spent $200 million to wrest the broadcasting rights for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver from the CBC (a decision which, luckily for CTV, paid off big-time as Canada got the biggest gold medal haul of any competing country - and regained the crown jewel, the men's hockey gold, in a dramatic showdown against the USA). Over a decade later, despite the lack of an official cancellation notice, it's obvious that CTV has quietly ceased production on the show.

Canadian spin-off the British series "Pop Idol", which debuted on the CTV channel in 2003, one year after the launch of ''Series/AmericanIdol''. Ran for six years until after the 2008 season, when ThePowersThatBe announced the show would be taking a hiatus due to the current economic crisis. Needless to say, some fans [[http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=39885468462&ref=search&sid=720661904.2356801068..1 were a bit upset...]]

!!Tropes:
* AmbiguouslyGay - some contestants more than others...
* ChristmasSongs - season one winner Ryan Malcolm appeared in the ''Series/AmericanIdol'' Christmas special, and season six winner Theo Tams has recorded three such tracks for charity.
* CommercialBreakCliffhanger - subverted for one season finale.
* CompassionateCritic - judge Jake Gold, and to a somewhat less compassionate extent, Zack Werner.
* ExecutiveMeddling - rumors abound that some semi-finalist contestants were eliminated even if they didn't have the lowest number of votes.
* FanCommunityNicknames - often generated on the official message board.
* Filler
* FilmAtEleven - The early episodes, with their "coming up next" clips before each commercial.
* GenkiGirl - Steffi D definitely gives this off.
* HeterosexualLifePartners - host Ben Mulroney and co-host Jon Dore, until Dore left after 2005 to resume his stand-up career.
* HopelessAuditionees
* IdolSinger
* InJoke - "Fingerprints, no. Hookers? Yes!" - basically, any line Jacob Hoggard came up with.
* LastNoteNightmare - it's happened. Oh, has it happened.
* ManipulativeEditing
* NoodleIncident - [[http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/idol/CTVShows/20041028/CI2-Theresa-Jacob-VickiG-041028 The naked-with-a-beachball story.]]
* OneHitWonder - sadly the fate of some "winners".
* OutWithABang - after Mookie Morris' post-elimination performance, he pulled a first in Idol history by [[http://thatscountry.com/am2/uploads/1/mookie-smashes-guitar-sm.jpg smashing his guitar]].
* ProductPlacement - while the Americans make music videos for Ford, the Canadians plugged L'Oreal, Pantene, and Kraft products during their SliceOfLife skits.
* ProgressiveRock - the genre a majority of contestants have performed as opposed to traditional Idol pop.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness - many an auditioner.
* RealityTVShowMansion - the house during the sixth season was even featured on MTV Cribs.
* TheRemake - just like every other show with "Insert Nationality Here" Idol in its title.
* RuleThirtyFour - [[http://community.livejournal.com/ci_slash and]] [[http://community.livejournal.com/ci6_slash how.]]
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Music/CarlyRaeJepsen is to the show what Music/OneDirection is to ''Series/TheXFactor''.
* ShockingElimination - Billy Klippert in season one, Kaleb Simmonds and Jacob Hoggard in season two, Josh Palmer in season three, Rob James in season four, Greg Neufeld in season five, Mookie Morris and Drew Wright in season six...and that's just among the top tens.
* SiblingTeam - season six's Oliver and Sebastian Piggot, at least until the third semi-finalist eliminations.
* StudioAudience
* TakeThat - after Jacob Hoggard's elimination (which is speculated [[http://www.geocities.com/jacob_hoggard_fan_mc/beautiful.html he may have wanted)]], he's spent his post-Idol career biting the hand that fed him, particularly [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGxw1rXD8m4 in his band's videos]].
* TalentShow
* TokenMinority - judge Farley Flex, and every season would have one or two black or Asian contestants.
* TransatlanticEquivalent
