I'm a Canadian

Something to note that although many of the things I say are local specific meaning that there are certain legal/technology limitations that I must accept as a Canadian.  These are:

We are metric (although imperial measurements still weighs heavily on many things)
CableCARD's don't exist in canada (and doubtful that it will ever be)
We have a Celluar Mobile monoply among 3 big players and they know it.
We are not the US, (obviously) but it's important to understand when importing things from the US
Like the US we normally use UMTS/HSPA 850MHz and/or 1900MHz for a cellular services
110V if you want to be picky and that's also a US thing
