Yes those first 3 USA Tv stations are Very Strong Signal Strength and 2 plus miles away.
Makes one think about avoiding a antenna system amplifier.
The USA Tv stations are Strong Signal Strength.
Most of the Canada Tv stations are Weaker signal strength.
With , CJMT UHF channel 40 Omni 2 , CITY UHF channel 44 CITY Tv , CFMT channel 47 , Very weak signal strengths.

To keep it simple.
The situation calls for using a antenna only for reception.
Use a antenna that is not to big and not to small.
Use a antenna that will receive the Strong USA Tv stations/channels through the , back / back angles of the antenna.
Yet also has some forward gain for reception of those Weak Canada Tv stations.
A choice of a , ANT751 antenna or a Channel Master CM2016 antenna.
The ANT751 has a little less forward gain , however receives a little better through the , back / back angles of the antenna.
The CM2016 has a little more forward gain , however receives a little less through the , back / back angles to the antenna.

I lean toward the CM2016 antenna aimed at about 344 degree magnetic compass direction.
Here is how to aim antennas ,

A Winegard DS3000 , J Pole type antenna mount works very well with the CM2016 antenna for a antenna mount.

A simple 2 way splitter will be Ok.
