I stand corrected on the provider. Unfortunately neither provider offers any service in Canada.

I do a lot of travelling and happen to have a U.S. credit card but the billing address is in Canada. It's not the easiest thing in the world to set up a card like that. I even have siblings in the states and wouldn't inflict myself on them that way.

There's really not much option for anybody outside of the states. Amazon.ca (the canadian version) is a pale imatation as well. They're just a very U.S. centric company. I'm not sure why they're so intent on limiting their market that way. That said, they seem to be doing well enough so more power to 'em.
