Actually, I think rights issues are at the root of the delay for Canada, and it has to do with the US/UK rights divide, which is much more complicated there than in most other countries. Most countries are wholly in one or the other territory, so Amazon just has to market for the appropriate territory.
Canada is different: some books are handled under UK rights and others under US rights. Generally this means that US books are distributed by US publishers, and UK books by UK publishers. The end result is that Canada needs a completely separate list of available books because it may not be immediately obvious which edition is licensed for Canada.
