  "account": "Toronto, brace yourself for a new wave of YouTube content. Creator-driven shows are set to hit the platform, including a Canadian version of the viral internet series \"Subway Takes.\" Comedian Kareem Rahma will be taking his signature style to Toronto's subway system, asking locals and notable figures for their opinions while riding the TTC. The show, which is expected to consist of around 15 episodes, is slated to debut next month. Rahma chose Toronto as the location for the show due to the city's diversity, vibrant culture, and compelling stories. The series, currently boasting over 1.1 million subscribers and 800 million views on YouTube, has successfully popularized the phrase \"100 per cent agree/disagree\" online. A YouTube Canada representative expressed excitement about bringing the show to Toronto, emphasizing that fans can expect the same engaging subway takes they have come to love. In addition to Rahma's show, YouTube Canada will also introduce a variety of other content, such as reality and scripted series featuring well-known Canadian personalities like chef Matty Matheson, former Olympic figure skater Tessa Virtue, and Professional Women's Hockey League player Sarah Nurse. Virtue is launching a video podcast series called \"Virtuoso,\" while Nurse's series, \"Sarah's Side Quests,\" will see her learning new skills from experts in various fields.",
