Here’s a bit of a shocker…We all know that YouTube (owned by Google) is the number one destination online where video is consumed, and Facebook was the number two spot.  However, according to a press release that Bell Media just issued, they have taken the number two spot away from Facebook.

According to comScore’s April 2011 ranking, Bell Media ranks #2 in Canada for videos viewed, and #3 time spent watching video online.
