“It will be the second Apple store in the metro region when it opens, probably before Thanksgiving, 2008.,” ifoAppleStore reports.

There are only 2 cities in Canada, according to Apple.
Canada has cities?
“Canada has cities?”
No, just really massive villages. And every one has a hockey team.
That’s still better than my last company.
Because their app didn’t have country field, they listed Canada as a state, so you had …Oregon, Ontario CN, etc.
I’m going to be there for the openning party for sure…..
You should always picture Canada as a cow that feeds in the west, is milked in Ontario and Québec and shits on the Maritimes.

@Tom
“Canada has cities?”
No, cities were invented by Americans. and yet to be exported to Canada just after the iPhone
@Big Al. I agree with you.
What about Calgary.
Canada: America’s Hat
I would expect that Vancouver will get one soon so that there is one in place before the Olympics in 2010. There are also persistent rumours that Apple is negotiating with the powers-that-be that run the West Edmonton Mall.
“Canada has cities?”
Sure.
St John’s … still angry about that insurrection in the 1770s.
Montreal … a beautiful French city
Toronto … a modern British city
Vancouver … from the heart of Southern California
Edmunton … Texas redux
You can travel the world and never leave Canada. It’s much like a theme park with each city a different theme. As for your previous company, Rob, the US tried to make that so … a few years back. Didn’t work out. Maybe it was that one-colonist-in-ten who ran north rather than switch?
With Global Warming, Canada may be seeing a lot of immigrants from the south … you guys ready?

What about Ottawa and Calgary?!?! Ottawa (my hometown) is only the capital of Canada people and Calgary is booming like crazy right now. Apple is being stupid by not putting Apple Stores in these cities. Apple was going to put an Apple Store here in Calgary but for stupid reasons never happened. C’mon Apple lets see retail stores in these cities!!
Good Apple… now please do the same in other countries all around the world. There should be a store in every major city of the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Also, please bring iPhone down to Canada + all your movies to iTunes Canada, and elsewhere too.
The world is larger than NY.
Benedict Arnold’s biggest failure was not his treason, but rather his failure to conquer Canada in September 1775.
Apple definitely missed the boat in Calgary….probably the richest (large) city in North America.
@MacDaddy. …I thought everyone in Alberta wore a cowboy hat, voted conservative and used a PeeCee?
Montreal can use two stores because there are a Gazillion Macs around here.
Go Habs Go!
I’ll post it here first. Rumour has it Apple will open a major Toronto store at 1 Bloor East (corner of Yonge and Bloor). It will be located in the base of a new condo planned to be Canada’s tallest at 80 stories.
If Romney wins, I’ll be calling Vancouver Island home. Beautiful place, great cycling, fewer mormons.
@C1…but they are all over 75 years old and drive 10 kilometers per hour. Accidents caused by falling asleep at the wheel never result in fatalities although the rate of those being bored to death is rising at an alarming rate.
Do you like wilderness, big trees, and isolation that much?
Also…

Did you put in the extra m in mormons on purpose?
when it opens, probably before Thanksgiving, 2008
Thanksgiving. I believe you Yanks call that weekend “Columbus Day”.
@ Buster
I’m from rural Washington. Victoria is like Metropolis to me. And you can still get decent coffee, great beer, and the homeless people are nicer that most US Customer Service workers.
Did I?
Let me tell you about Calgary.
There are over 50,000 Americans living here.
It’s a great place to live, work and play.
50,000 Americans can’t be wrong.
Five stores in Ontario & Quebec? As usual it appears western Canada doesn’t exist. What about a store in Vancouver?!! You know it’s only Canada’s third largest city!
I think this location is perfect, thus the store will soon prove too small.
Disappointed MDN still hasn’t run the Vancouver story yet (although with MWSF coming up MDN is swamped I am sure.
Construction is underway in the Vancouver store. It is being developed in the old Holt Renfrew section of Pacific Centre mall in downtown Vancouver.
Apple currently has postings on it’s website for sales positions/creative/store manager/assistant store manager, etc. for “Vancouver-Pacific Centre”.
You can go to: http://jobs.apple.com/index.ajs?method=mHvexternal.showPositionDetails&&BID;=2&Language=en&PID=64
Select “Find Locations” then select “British Columbia”
Because Apple is hiring Sales people for the “floor” already, and signs at the old Holt Renfrew section of Pacific Centre Mall show “Opening Spring 2008” it is expected this includes the Apple Store. Apple does not do advance hiring unless they are within months of a store opening.
Cheers to all you West Coast Canucks!
Apple needs a couple of stores out west, and they’ll be able to reach a good chunk of the pop.
How about an Apple store in Calgary and the iPhone in Canada. Both would be extremely successful!
Mac Daddy … no intention to slight either Ottawa or Calgary, but they are not as easy to characterize as the others.
Brau … being from Berkshire County, MA, I hear you loud and clear. The county is next door to NY and one of three or four in the state – all west of Springfield – that most in the state know nothing about. Stockbridge is more famous for being the Turnpike exit mentioned in Sweet Baby James than anything else. Lee? Pittsfield? Adams? Oh, wait, didn’t one of our governors live there?
Harrumph!

Chrissy,
I’ll never understand how they got that spelling wrong.
“Let me tell you about Calgary.

Looks like the U.S. isn’t the only country with undesirable aliens.
