Google Street View Comes to Canada

Google Street View became available to a select number of Canadian markets today.  When you visit the Google Maps site, you can drag the little man standing on top of the zoom status anywhere on the street.  The major centres which now have the Street View enabled include: Vancouver+area, Calgary, Ottawa, Kitchener, Hamilton, Toronto+area, Montreal, and Halifax.  I know it wasn’t too long ago when I saw them driving around in Saskatchewan so I imagine more areas will becoming online soon.  It seemed like not too long ago when doubts were being raised whether it would ever come online due to the privacy laws here in Canada.
