Spoiler, bell and rogers already hand over subscriber data by the boatload. How do you think those “we caught you torrenting” emails make it to the “right” people?
No customer data is sent to the copyright notice issuer unless they decide to go after that subscriber in court. Only a “delivered” or “not delivered for reason X” gets sent back to them.

Studios monitor public torrents, and through legal channels ask warnings to be sent via the ISP to their client at that address. The studio does not receive the customer data

They are required by law to do this.

Do they still send those out to Canadians? Or maybe it’s cuz I only torrent nostalgia.
If you torrent anything new or popular they still send them out though I haven’t seen one in years some of the idiots I work with get them weekly.
