I have barely watched non-streaming TV for probably a decade or more, but I believe that in Canada it is much more difficult to advertise pharmaceuticals or law services. I think they can do it, but there are a lot of restrictions.

Certainly when I'm ~~subjected~~ exposed to American TV, the number of pharmaceutical commercials is staggering.

I don't know about lawyers, but as far as I know, the only two countries that allow pharmaceuticals advertising are the United States and New Zealand.
