I'm not sure if you are familiar with Nanalew , a Canadian Youtube partner with over 140,000 subscribers but she just had her Youtube account and other online accounts hacked. She had just posted the video below which had been entered into a contest to see if she could win a trip to New Zealand when someone hacked into her Youtube account and removed all of her Youtube videos. I follow her on Twitter (she's @Nanalew ) and she tweeted about the attack shortly after asking her followers to vote for her on the website holding the contest. The website is coldestcanadian.ca if you want to vote for her - she's currently in 4th spot with about 1300-1400 votes. One good point is that she contacted Youtube and got her Youtube account restored that same night, but the hacker also got her Gmail account and her Adsense account, which really sucks. She is in the process of trying to get her Adsense and other accounts returned to her and it will be interesting to see how long that...

I've been promising to provide an updated Top 100 Most Subscribe Canadians list for some time and finally, here it is. As you may know, I also have made a top 100 list covering the UK, and I will be posting ones for Australia, Ireland and several others because each of these countries deserve to have their best (not just most subscribed) shown some support. And nothing wrong with getting a backlink on the Internet even if it's from my lameass blog right? That's one of the reason I do this - to give those hardworking folks a heads up that, yes, there really ARE people watching! So, who are the most subscribed Canadian Youtubers as of January 15, 2011? Here is the list of those Canadian YouTube channels with the highest number of subscribers and compared to where they were on the last update (July 2010 - man, I have to update these more often!). It is probably no surprise that heading the list is Justin Bieber's kidraul channel given his huge fan base. Actually, the...

There was a Youtube Gathering in Toronto on November 16, 2010 and those Canadian fans of Wheezy Waiter were able to see him live and in person (unless that was actually a clone and original Wheezy stayed home). He does appear to be on Canadian soil as evidenced by the Celine Dion music playing when he rolls into view: It was good to see Wheezy made it to the gathering and giving fellow youtuber Corey Vidal a shout out in his video. Just to clarify, yes there was a War of 1812, yes, Canada and the U.S. fought each other (mostly to a standstill) and Ontario at the time was called the Province of Upper Canada, while Quebec was named Lower Canada. The States did invade and got whupped something fierce and the Canadians (not the hockey team) invaded Washington D.C. and torched the White House. After peace was declared (the treaty of Ghent: I knew that without looking it up), because it took so long to for news to travel, British troops landed and attacked New Orleans and got their b...

See you there? Here's a link to Google Maps for the area if you need it: Dundas Square Duration? - well, at this time of year it starts getting a bit cold and dark around 5pm, but you can always head into the Eatons Center. Hey, you might be able to get a great picture with Shay or Wheezy.

Since I compiled my list of The 100 Most Subscribed Canadian Youtubers , there has been some changes and additions with some new channels making the top 100 and others dropping off. First a list of the 25 channels that have gained the most subscribers since I posted that list: 1. wocder777 gained the most subs of all Canadian channels with an increase of 17,234. Oddly, when you go to that channel it now says they have no viewable videos. Hmmm... 2. kidrauhl increased almost as many with 17,185 new subs for young mister Bieber's channel. He remains the most subbed Canadian channel and just broke through the 700K level. His channel is also 25th most subscribed worldwide . 3. NextGenTactics had a very impressive increase in new subscribers, gaining 15,945 and now sits at 91K. They are pumping out several videos a day for the gamers out there. They also jumped up to the 29th spot from 35th last week. 4. FLuffeeTalks also had another good week, garnering 11,570 new subs and...
