Canadian laws and/or enforcement is pretty weak in Canada. The worst thing you’ll get is a scary email or two but that’s it. That being said I pirate a lot so I just use a VPN.

To add on to what others have said, case law has pretty much settled on the point that streaming isn’t a legal issue, provided no money is involved. Downloading can still be an issue, but not as bad as it can be in the US. If you’re using free streaming sites and don’t use the download option, you shouldn’t have any legal issues. I have been using free streaming sites for years on a few different providers, and the only notice I’ve received in the last decade was when my kid pirated a game without VPN.
