RIP Joe Flaherty, of SCTV, Freaks and Geeks and a lot of other things.
I grew up on, and loved, SCTV, and he was a mainstay -- every bit as important as Dave Thomas, John Candy or Catherine O'Hara. Not just as Count Floyd and Big Jim McBob of Farm Film Report ("He blowed up real good!")**, but many other characters as well.
He did a lot of smaller parts as well; one I haven't seen mentioned -- and one of my my favorites -- was one of the two Czechoslovakian border guards in Stripes:
**Cannot describe how funny this bit was, unless you grew up watching local TV in the American Midwest (e.g. Iowa or Nebraska).

Sad news. And I don't care that he was actually an American, he was as much a Canadian TV icon as John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and the others from SCTV. RIP
(Too bad we never got a crossover between Count Floyd and the Count from Hilarious House of Frightenstein!)
