Correct answer: Monetize in Canada, Track everywhere else.
Why this is the answer
When multiple assets claim a video, YouTube applies the most restrictive policy for each territory. In this scenario, for Canada, both assets have a "Monetize" policy, so the video will be monetized in Canada. For all other territories, the first asset has no ownership, meaning its "Monetize worldwide" policy doesn't apply there. The second asset has "Monetize worldwide" but since the first asset doesn't apply a policy outside Canada, the default behavior for the second asset's claim would be to monetize. However, YouTube's conflict resolution prioritizes the most restrictive policy. Since one asset only has ownership in Canada, for all other territories, the video will be tracked, as that is the most restrictive policy available when one asset doesn't claim ownership. Therefore, the video will be monetized in Canada and tracked everywhere else.
