In the USA, the FCC apparently requires broadcasters and distributors (including cable companies) to provide closed captioning - see http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/closedcaption.html .
The CRTC also requires this in Canada - see http://www.crtc.gc.ca/Eng/INFO_SHT/b321.htm Perhaps you can file a complaint with the CRTC and copy your cable operator. That might help them pay attention!
