Internet! I Need Your Help!

Something is very wrong here. I want to see if it's just me or something worse.

So, if you have a minute, do the following.

1) Go here - http://www.youtube.com/user/thishourhas22minutes
2) Attempt to watch a video.
3) Tell me what happens.

I'm getting a "This video is not available in your country" lock out. Normally, I wouldn't care, but... THIS IS A FREAKING CANADIAN SERIES. My tax dollars paid for this show. It's produced by a Canadian company, in Canada, for a Canadian audience. Why is it locked out to Canadians?

And for the record, the only reason I found this is because they have the Poncho Village skit up and I wanted goofy screencaps of it. But I find this sort of thing frustrating, because a lot of streaming video from other countries is locked out to Canadians. But this is a Canadian series. What gives?

I don't think it's across the board, either. The CBC stream works fine:

That's some big hair there, Mr. Harper

Thanks! Looks like everyone in Canada is blocked. That's really strange. As I mentioned to someone else, it makes me wonder if the CBC bought the digital broadcast rights.
