The current Conservative government could care less if Canadians subscribe to US DBS. In fact they have pledged to allow foreign satellite providers into Canada. They also realize that wasting police resources to try to catch people watching TV is ludicrous.

OTTAWA - A Conservative government would radically reduce the
amount of regulation of the television industry and seek a deal with
the United States to allow American satellite TV services unfettered
access to Canada, according to the party's candidate handbook.
It was the previous Liberal government (supported by Bell) that sought to have US DBS declared illegal. They also tried to introduce a new Bill to increase penalties 10 fold. However, the Liberals were caught in a corruption scandal, were booted out of office and the Bill died on the table.
