In a move that will surely please a lot of the 4cr staff, Nintendo of Canada and FatPort have announced a deal similiar to the McDonalds Wifi deal here in the US.
Nintendo and FatPort will provide Wifi hotspots for DS owners in a ton of Canadian shops. Best Western, Joey Tomatos and Mac’s Convenience Store are just some of them. Check out the full list here:

Canadians also have grammar which states that possessives use an apostrophe and plurals do not.
Sorry, just had to point that out as it’s my pet peeve. But yay for Canadians not getting the shaft!

I dont know what any of that means, as Im terrible with grammer, but I assume that I fixed the problem.

Putting this service in hotels is a really good idea, I hope they do the same to America soon.

Bah, nothing for us Atlantic residents.
I’ll just steal Bombs’s WiFi signals.

Hooray! We can all play Mario Cart with Coffeeman!

Excellent. Though Second Cup already has hotspots around here. Does anyone who read this live in Winnipeg? o.O;
Anyway, I’ll be playing online from home as well — good old Linksys.

Too bad Tim Hortons isn’t on that list

Hell freakin’ yes! I was a bit worried that NoC would probably not do the same thing, but this news just made my day. Yeah, too bad neither Tim Hortons or Coffee Time are on that, I would’ve loved having to eat a Boston Creme donut with a double-triple after a long day of school.

It’s not as great as the Mc Donald deal, but it’s great that they have at least done something for us !

This is somewhat of a Sad list, I’m a bit dissappointed, its basically Vancouver and Winnipeg who have it all. They need to focus on Tim Hortons, that would be the GREATEST choice. Honestly, Tim Hortons is the place to be…which is sort of sad too, but if theres nothing to do after a night out, we usually end up there. I think we should all email nintendo.

Heheh…. FatPort… irony, no?

Thats awesome, theres a Macs less than 10 seconds away from here.

On a second viewing….theres no hotspots in South Edmonton…FK!

Hehe, there’s a Mac’s across the street from my school. But yeah, Tim Horton’s would have been the way to go.
