i agree it is a bit much to have 3 in canada, all in the same city but it looks like they have plans for calgary and vancouver: http://www.ifoapplestore.com/category/canada/

the apple resellers in vancouver all kinda suck in their own special way so it'll be nice when/if it actually happens.

I hope they are seriously considering something for Winnipeg

as it is people from the eastern side of Sask, all of Manitoba, and much of North Western Ontario travel to Winnipeg for their mac needs, at times the resellers here are ok, but an Official Apple Store would really boost things, especially if they can secure a central location that is easy to get to.

Typical of Canada..all there is is Toronto. In reality, Toronto is the old Canada...It is the West that is booming and where the people are flocking. The average age in Calgary and Edmonton ( twin cities in population) and both in Alberta is under 37 years. That is where Apple should be building stores as that is the age cohort who think Apple!. I speak as a senior and not a member of that group but a long term Mac user who is impatiently waiting for the world to catch up to the incredible econoomy and disposable income of these cities. It may be the end of the oil economy but Alberta is going to reap its finale...is Apple?
