Comedian Colin Mochrie, of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Whose Line Is It Anyway? said Canadians can easily view clips and entire episodes of his shows on YouTube and can also post their own cell-phone video recordings of his stand-up appearances to the video-sharing site.
"This is now the norm. People are watching original programs online or on their iPods. You see, just like television, new media is just another platform for viewing and distributing programming content," Mochrie said in his presentation, where he argued new media should follow the same rules.
"The space for content is practically endless; however, being endless, content can get easily lost. So how do we make sure Canadians can find their own content? ... When I star in a movie or a TV show, I do it because I want to work, I want people to see the show, to experience it. They can't do that if they aren't given the choice."

Sorry Colin,
If I found you funny enough, I would find you. I don't need your performances shoved down my throat by a government agency that thinks I should watch Canadian content, first and foremost, based on where I live.
