I go to Amazon's 3g Touch page and it says:

"Free 3G Wireless
Our most convenient Kindle - no wireless set up, no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. Download books anywhere with no plans, contracts, or monthly fees. 3G works globally. Learn more"

When I click "learn more" I get the coverage map and it includes most Canadian urban centers.
