YouTube has launched a localized Canadian portal for its video-sharing network, in its efforts to quickly roll out local sites across the globe.

This follows the website's launch in New Zealand and Australia a few weeks back, and the launching of several other local portals in various countries around th world. As with all other local portals, YouTube Canada will have a Canadian slant with video search results that are tailored to Canadian culture. It even has a Maple leaf logo. Cute.

Several media content providers have partnered for the provision of their own branded YouTube channels, including Dose.ca, CFL, CommandN and Unicef. Other recent releases for localized Canadian portals include MySpace Mobile.
