Although we don't have HBO Max per se, we do have access to most of the programming. See the full lineup at the following link, including Movies, Showtime programming, Starz, etc
Help Finding "Foreign" TV Shows

Because HBO Max is separate from HBO. Made for Love, for example. It is an HBO Max show but carried by Prime Video in Canada. As well, Bell put HBO Max shows on Crave channels, not HBO-proper channels. Peacemaker for example. OTOH, all HBO shows are always on HBO-proper.
Yes but they didn't say "the Tourist a HBO Max show is coming to Crave" they said "THE TOURIST, Starring Jamie Dornan, Debuts March 3 on HBO Max" when nobody who gets Bell can get HBO Max. Maybe they just copied and pasted what they got from HBO and made a mistake! Right below the big headline it says "THE TOURIST premieres Thursday, March 3 on Crave" so at lest they got that right!
Okay just for fun I googled and it was easy to find here's what the HBO press release said:
THE TOURIST, Starring Jamie Dornan, Debuts March 3 on HBO Max
And if you read the rest it's the same too THE TOURIST, Starring Jamie Dornan, Debuts March 3 on HBO Max .
Anyway, sorry to take up so much space I think it was just a mistake b'cuz the other ones ppl have linked to from Crave haven't said that. Oh and btw we'll try the show.
we now return you to your regularly scheduled TV discussion...

Good points but we already know that Crave airs original HBO and HBO+ programming on it's HBO Canada service at the same time as HBO. The Crave service does the same for Showtime programming. A subscription to Crave with HBO and Starz includes HBO, HBO+, Showtime and STARZ original programming on both the linear and streaming services. I see no reason to get picky about cut and paste news releases. There are worse things about Crave to criticize, such as lack of 4K and other technical issues.
Oh I wasn't complaing just confused! Like you say probably just a bad copy and paste. Sorry about your 4K we don't have a 4K TV so doesn't matter to us but I'm sure it does to ppl with 4K TVs. Also we are grateful to get Crave and all there HBO and Showtime shows!

Here's an update from the Crave thread. Bell Media even deleted their original press release.
Thank you for that information Peppermint P. That is definitely strange. I noticed that on the Crave March release never had The Tourist either

The Tourist won't be in Zap2it - it's not on Crave. See my previous post. It's streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in Canada starting March 4. In the U.S. you'll have to watch it on HBO Max.
Right I was just kinda agreeing that the earlier info about Crave was wrong otherwise it would of been on Zap2it.

Even though Amazon owns IMDB TV, it has a mixed record of streaming those series outside the U.S. For example, it did pick up the rights to stream Alex Rider on Amazon in a handful of countries including Canada, however, it didn't licence Leverage: Redemption which aired on CTV Drama, or Judy Justice which isn't available in Canada at all.
Crave also has all 7 seasons of Bosch, so Bell Media may also have rights to the spinoff under their original contract. So it could end up on any combination of Amazon Prime, Crave, a Bell Media linear channel, a free ad-supported digital series on CTV.ca, or none of the above.

But isn't it an Amazon Original?
If it is then I would be very surprised if it doesn't stream on Prime.Certainly hope so.

"Amazon Original" is mostly a marketing term that varies by country and is subject to interpretation. It doesn't mean that Amazon owns the world-wide rights. Bell Media licensed Bosch from Red Arrow International as a "Project Latte Exclusive" (the code-name for what later became CraveTV.) Red Arrow holds the international rights to Bosch. Amazon Prime Video didn't launch in Canada until later.
Keep in mind that Amazon Prime won't stream the spinoff in the U.S., so it's hard to say what will happen in other countries.

Thanks for all of the detailed info Dr. Dave. If Bell does not have the rights from the original series, I would think that based on the popularity of the original series, Amazon would pick the series up for Canada, as well as other territories around the world. That's what I am hoping for anyway.

Just found this on Tampa Bay Times that Bosch: Legacy finds Harry retired, but still working as a private detective. It will air on IMDb TV, a free, ad-supported streaming service, and on Amazon Prime starting May 6.
So it appears that it will be shown on Amazon Prime in US, so would be very unlikely not to be on Prime in Canada.
Plus, it is produced by Fabrik Entertainment for Amazon Sudios according to Wiki.
I did see that Red Arrow Studios International had bought the European rights, maybe that's all they have?
