except that it seems if you actually live in Canada, the flash video
doesn't actually play.

I have the exact problem than George, and Google searches seems to
indicate that others may also have the same problem.  I wouldn't
qualify this as a showstopper for Karmic and I wouldn't be surprised
this is not a Ubuntu problem but something they do on cbc.ca's side,
but it is annoying nevertheless for the the few Canadians Linux users
out there who cannot to access the online videos from our national
broadcaster.

By the way,  this is the bug report George opened about this:
