Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens
Trillan writes "After appearing on December 1st, iTunes music store Canada is now officially open. Price is only $0.99 CDN (about $0.83 US) per song, so it's less expensive than the US store. This is probably fair since our CDs are usually cheaper here, too, at least on the west coast."

Take off!
Sure, it's possible for Americans to buy from the Canadian Itunes store! But as Pres.Bush will remind you, we can't be sure those bits will be safe! What's really IN those files?
They probably have Bryan Adams albums featured. :)
500GB of disk, 5TB of transfer, $5.95/mo
Any Canadian out there who wants to be my best friend?

The reason for the different stores is the different laguage we use here up north. Instead of oh, say, "Pay Now!" It will say "Pay Now Eh?!"
You are confusing me with someone who cares.
Cheaper CDs, cheaper pharmaceuticals, affordable health care ... sounds like paradise! Would you Canadians just invade us, please?
Soylent Green is peoplicious!

Since we Canadians still use 486's, apple's been hard pressed to get iTunes to work on our pc's. We still use 486's because its so damn cold, and that somehow makes sense.
It's actually called "TunesA".
Sweet, what a deal for Americans! Only $0.83 a download, no wait, $0.85, oop, make that $0.92, don't worry guys it'll stop any day now, shit! $1.05 ...
Pfft.. forget what the article says.
;)
Let's use our American mentalitly and just say we can use it. If they don't let us use it we'll just call them a bunch of flammatory names, say stuff like "WHATEVER, AMERICA JR!" and "OUR ARMY COULD KICK YOUR ARMY'S ASS!" (all in a really loud voice, of course).
Yup.. the good ol' American way.
Ooh... I bet you're really Canadian, eh. All the Canadians I know put an "eh" at the end of everything they say, eh. Even when they're writing, eh. That's the truth, eh. I know it, eh. I've been there, eh. They do it all the time, eh. See ya later, eh.

Can you spot the subtle differences?

You qualify if you can manage to put "eh" and "yehaw" in one sentence that makes some sence.

Yes, Old Zealand was where they filmed Lord of the Rings. All the towns look medieval so they didn't have to pay too much on the sets.
They're on our side! They are fighting for the foo!
Like Freedom Fighters, only better!

We Canucks have been underfunding our armed forces for years. There is no actual civilian department of defense to oversee the army, but instead we have a wierd hybrid of bureaucrat/generals running the show. Our helicopters (Sea Kings) were obsolete 15 years ago, and are referred to as 10,000 parts flying in loose formation.
The Delaware National Guard could kick our army's ass.
We may let Americans browse the Canadian store, but when Canadians log in, here's what *we* actually see...
