According to Websense, Canada has been seen as a prime target to move cybercrime operations into their network infrastructure. Here is a summary of Patrik Runald's blog and the complete post can be found here.

Jump in Hosted Phishing Sites - A 319% increase in the last year. The various site locations are shown here.
Increase in Bot Networks – Over the past 8 months, a 53% increase of bot Command and Control (C&C). When compared to the U.S., France, Germany and China, Canada is now 2nd for hosting bot networks.
Malicious Websites - Websense noticed a decline of malicious website, however, this decline is moving at a much slower pace in Canada
Overall Increase in Cybercrime - In the 2010 Websense Threat Report, Canada was #13 and is now #6 in 2011.
