    Canada

    They'll probably open Apple Stores in Vancouver and Toronto (Eaton's Center, likely), but I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on Montreal until they are also prepared to launch a store in Paris.... retail operators often co-ordinate marketing materials and signages in French between MTL and Paris operations.

    Who cares?

    I'm really confused by who planned this expansion over the years. The fact that there are stores in nowhere towns like Des Peres, Missouri and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin... yet they ignore the 3.5+ million people of Toronto is both insulting to us, and baffling in general. Apple has both a larger marketshare in Canada -and- the opportunity of being near one of North America's largest universities (U of T)... yet I'm still stuck buying machines for my business from questionably authorized 3rd parties or waiting for the Apple Store to deliver.... not to mention the fact that everytime there is an event we have to drive to Buffalo to catch it on their Apple Store's sat feed. This is getting pretty lame.
