SGA and SG1 often get a raw end of the stick (they rarely win significant Canadian TV awards for instance) just because MGM are American - the entirety of the rest of production is canadian dominated, moreso than many canadian TV shows.
Having said that, just because they're Canadian doesn't automatically take away the issues we've talked about. The type of problems we've both highlighted are Western attitudes not American ones. Canada, Britain, France ect.. all have severe problems with racism - sometimes they're framed in slightly different words, or debated more openly, but they still exist.
You're right about the US audience - every season we live or die by whether Sci fi want to reschedule and they have to have some audience to justify that.
