That sounds like a copyright violation. But technically it might if you can aim at the satellite correctly and the device doesn’t check your GPS &/or IP.

Dawson City is located in the Yukon, Canada. It is well within the Canadian Border & it is a long ways from the next closest major U.S. city in Alaska.

It is illegal for Canadian providers to knowingly provide service to subscribers whose service address is outside of Canada, and also for American providers to knowingly provide service to subscribers within Canada.

 Would it work? Maybe or maybe not. If you are travelling  through the U.S. and you were within 100 or so miles from the Canadian border it would probably work. Satellite beams do not recognize borders. There is some signal leakage between countries along international borders.
