The "infamous Canadian guy" is David Pelletier, and he has a very pronounced French accent. That was definitely not him in the video. David does not do commentary for every competition, but does a few each year. He's very opinionated, and I think I'd get tired of him if he commented all the time, but he is also very knowledgable and offers insights that other commentators don't. for instance, do you know which partner calls out the rotations on the pairs spin, and why? If you listened to David, you'd know.
(Answer: it's the weaker spinner of the two who does the calls. The partner who is a stronger spinner is then adjusts to keep in sync. Sometimes it's the male partner, sometimes the female who does the calling, depending on the pair.)
