Netflix Canada launched last Fall and its growth currently outpaces Netflix in the US (their recent two year content deal with CBS excludes Canada).

This week has been a great week for the iPhone in Canada. Not only is iPhoneinCanada adding many new writers (including yours truly), but there have been some great product releases that have shown the Great White North some love.
