As someone who lived in Canada, I've been frustrated about the lack of info but we are currently in times where there is a lot of important news occurring at the same time, Where there is no more that can be done to help the cause or nothing more to report on right now, it makes sense to give airtime to something that is going on. I know as the UK has a well known expatriate community in Spain including Catalan, it would be of importance knowing about the rioting and such due to the referendum. I'm sure if any more news comes about then it will get properly mentioned. It's a hard line to tow.
I've stopped relying on Sky News and BBC because i've just been getting frustrated with the reporting, it's not as groundbreaking as it once was. Call me a bit of a liberal but i've been watching Al Jazeera, France24 and DW on rotation a lot recently because they seem to get the right mix of reporting and breaking coverage. Weirdly i've been able to find out more on Al Jazeera about the incidents in Canada and France, including some very good reporting on the ground than the BBC at present.
I concur with Al Jazeera. I read them weekly and stick to CBC news. Its nice not having to read about Trump. As long as people are talking about him negatively, the more main stream news will keep reporting. At the end of the day, most people are negative news junkies.
