All my Canadian friends, lets party 'til the night is dawn!
I won't celebrate about that until I see some actual pricing

It'll probably be higher than the US prices, but hopefully we'll have fast shipping.

If I lived in Canada, this would be the best news ever. I'm happy for you guys!

And yes, NCIX should watch its ass.

Great stuff. I already get my stuff from Canada Computers and NCIX, but I will be using Newegg when I can. I'm very much a fan of their existing site and selection, and their shipping seems like it cannot be beat.

Antartica is primarily part of Canada. There's only Groenland and Russia up there other than us.

And now I'm torn between which e-shop will get my very loyal patronage... hmmm

Antartica is at the SOUTH POLE. I think you mean Arctic Circle. It's also Greenland, not Groenland also.

Penguins are only really native to the Southern Hemisphere.
