As far as I know, Canadian content rules only apply to radio and TV 
broadcasting, not the Internet. Blocked sites are due to licensing 
issues and the supposed lawlessness of Canada when it comes to 
copyright. The MPAA and RIAA want Canada to implement American style 
copyright legislation so they're the ones who push for the restrictions 
on streaming web content to Canadians.
