It’s my understanding that they are streaming OPM s2 with a week delay, which isn’t quite a “simulcast” anymore lol. That could change though. At least Viz finally figured something out for Canada, but I believe they own Latin American rights too, but they have no option for the new season of OPM at this time.

As someone who likes dubs, I absolutely LOATHE how Viz takes their time with dub releases. They seem to take forever and then do weird things like allow OPM on Netflix but not include the dub. WHY

Technically you need a subscription in order to view the episode when it launches on Hulu in the US and for the first week of Crunchyroll in Europe. Since Tubi is a free service, having to wait a week seems to be the trade-off. I understand that reasoning, but I don't entirely agree with it.
Worth noting that despite having a renewed deal with Tubi, many Viz titles (namely Ranma 1/2, any Inuyasha past season 2 and Sailor Moon dubs) remain completely unavailable for streaming in Canada. I really hope someone steps in and fixes that.

This is the real problem, and unfortunately it's very much possible that it will not see a resolution.

Well Viz has put the Dub for Hunter x Hunter on Netflix and think JoJo as well recently. Also Aniplex and Funimation have also only put Sub versions of some titles that also have a Dub. Hard to say what exactly goes on when they add or don’t add the Dub since they don’t treat every show equally.
