It's not a Canadian issue, it's a global one.

What is needed are root servers for various services, like DNS, whose 
authority is granted via a "web of trust". As new servers come online 
and gain reputation, they will be used. When a root server acts 
improperly, be it by purpose or fault, it's trust is removed. Clients 
can then check with various servers and disregard responses from 
untrusted servers.

In this case, the US-owned root DNS servers could have their global 
trust revoked, this triggering clients to disregard them in favour of 
root servers with higher trust.
