Google gets ready to film Canada's streets by Omar El Akkad, Globe and Mail (Mar 26)
Google will be taking street views in Canada over the next few weeks.
"Over the next few weeks, Google employees will be snapping pictures of 11 of Canada's biggest cities, including Halifax, Montreal, Winnipeg and Calgary. The search giant had previously collected some Canadian street data, which it plans to make public soon. There's no word yet on when data from this coming round will be released."
Watch for the van with the camera - you might find yourself in a street view.
"Images of people's faces and licence plates are automatically blurred out, and users can request any offensive images be removed."
