I know everyone here probably knows how to pirate things from overseas, but having the show available on a streaming service like Netflix or SkyShowtime is going to put it in front of more people who might like it and make it easier for them to recommend to their friends. I'd say the same thing no matter how long the wait was, to be honest. It took a good while for Summer Camp Island S6 to show up here in the U.S. but now it gets regular reruns on cable, which is what lets kids and teens find it. Better that the show's reach isn't restricted to people who already know what they're looking for.
CTV used to be the best at exposure by putting Star Trek on both streaming and linear - not sure why they're dropping the ball on this one.
I think it goes without saying - or it should - that watching it through official channels is better for the longevity of the show, if that’s an option where you live.

My best guess is that the season 1 ratings on the CTV Sci-Fi channel weren’t great, and despite being a massive media conglomerate, they don’t really have a “kids’ channel” to put it on instead.
There has been no official announcement regarding the launch of season 2 of Prodigy in Canada on CTV or any other platform, including Netflix and Paramount+.
This isn’t entirely true. Prodigy-related news releases on startrek.com used to say that the series would be available on CTV.ca and the CTV app - that language disappeared around June.
At this point, I think CTV simply isn’t going to release it, despite being the sole license holder
