As mc32 said, "It's their country and their rules." That said, requiring YouTube to recommend Canadian content doesn't make sense to me. The rationale for Canadian content requirements for TV is that it's cheaper for CTV and Global to pay for preexisting American shows than to create their own, so there has to be some incentive for them to do so. YouTube isn't like that. There, a Canadian who makes videos on underwater basket weaving is on exactly the same level as an American who makes videos on the same topic; it's not like an American media conglomerate already dominates the niche. (Radio is more akin to YouTube than TV, in the sense that a garage band trying to get big has the same difficult route whether starting from Mississauga or Mississippi, which is why Canadian content mandate for that medium has always been less sensible and more unpopular than for TV; thus "beaver hours", until that was prohibited.)
