Just in case there was any doubt, CSI: NY is not a history program
“CSI: NY” may be popular viewing with Canadians, but it’s not fit for Canada’s History Television cable channel.
That’s the verdict of Canada’s TV watchdog, which has rejected broadcaster Alliance Atlantis Communications’ argument that “CSI: NY” offered History Television viewers “a critically acclaimed look at forensic policing in post-9/11 New York City.”

Seriously, by Alliance Atlantis’ definition, pretty much anything would qualify as a history program.
Argh indeed. I’d much rather watch Pioneer Quest or Quest for the Bay on the history channel. At least they’re Canadian.
