Yes and more than a few Canadian Linux users but it's sad you can't get it outside of Canada, that sucks. However, the fact remains that stuff like this "just works" under both Windows and Mac and that is the real stick in the eye. And yes this could very easily happen to non Canadian sites as well. Oh and: It is a Linux problem, it doesn't work!!!!
