Template for Talk page
Talk pages for articles related to the project should have the {{WikiProject Canada|tvshow=yes}}
template added.
It can be added with the text:

Most pages still use the {{Canadian TV shows project}} template, which does not include the article in the parent project WikiProject Canada.
