I am part of the Canadian music HOBBY and I'm not in favour either. The fact that you said "favor" makes me doubt whether you're really Canadian, but I know many musicians, both inside and outside the industry, who aren't in favour. In general, the CRIA is understood to represent RIAA interests and only represent the Canadian recording industry as a hobby themselves.
Fun fact about Canada, if you live in Southern Ontario the chances of you using the non-OUR version is pretty high, especially if you were educated in the 80's, since the entire edumudcation system was waffling over whether or not it was okay. For those of us who went through that it's been hell ever since.
