Street Maps for Canada have arrived

Google gives Canadians a 'Street View' , Amber Bellaire, Globe and Mail (Oct 8)

"Canada has finally joined Google Street View, featuring high-resolution, street-level images of 15 Canadian cities. "

"Three-hundred-and-sixty degree views of Toronto, Calgary, Banff National Park, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Vancouver, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Squamish, Whistler, Ottawa, Hamilton, Kitchener and Waterloo are available."

It helps to watch the video tour. [1:46 min]

Faces and license plates are supposed to be blurred - as they were of the person walking down my street in Toronto when the Google camera took shots this past summer. But I think I recognize the dog.
