Were pre rule Canadian advertised sizes slightly less deceptive?

I don't know if Canada ever applied the same type of laws. At least into the 70s they still did it the old way we had since the 40s. I've seen Canadian ads where they were selling mid 70s American 25V Zenith CCIIs to the cannucks as 27" sets years before an honest 27" viewable color tube had been developed.
