Google Local Launched In Canada

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the coming-to-a-browser-near-you dept.

Shiifty writes "Globe Technology is reporting that Google Local has gone live in Canada. Google.ca partnered with Yellowpages.ca to deliver local answers to search queries by cross referencing Google's 4 billion website database with Yellowpage's 2.4 million listings. Google cited a Kelsey Group study, which said that 25 per cent of all commercial on-line searches are now local in nature."

    So does this mean I can get localized data for Canada by going to google.ca?
