How to Stream The Assembly Canada Online In the U.S.

If you’re located in the U.S., you can stream The Assembly Canada online on CBC Gem using a virtual private network (VPN). The streaming service is normally only available to viewers located in Canada, but a VPN will let you access Canadian servers to stream The Assembly Season 2 in the U.S.

One of the best VPNs we recommend is Proton. The highly-rated service offers a free version, or a (much better) paid version that starts at $9.99 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Proton offers exceptional cybersecurity (partially because it’s based in Switzerland, which has very strict data-protection laws). Unlike most other popular VPNs, Proton is also open-source, which means independent researchers can check out its code anytime.

Once you sign up for Proton VPN, set your location to anywhere in Canada and log into CBC Gem to stream The Assembly Season 2.
