3	''Canadian Idol''...also known as that show Music/CarlyRaeJepsen was on before Music/JustinBieber discovered her.

5	Canadian spin-off the British series ''Pop Idol'', which debuted on the CTV channel in 2003, one year after the launch of ''Series/AmericanIdol''. (This makes it one of the few ''Idol'' versions to run alongside another country's version, in tandem with general practices in the Canadian broadcasting industry.) 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...]]
