Google Street View has finally gone live in Canada. According to the CBC story, Street View is available now in “much of the Greater Toronto Area and in Vancouver and the surrounding area, north to Whistler and east to Chilliwack, B.C. . . . Hamilton, Ont., Kitchener and Waterloo, Ont., Ottawa, Windsor, Calgary, Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise, Montreal and the surrounding area, Quebec City, and Halifax.”

Let the privacy complaints begin!

    Hey, and what better intersection to show for the article than the dead centre of the country!

    Ah, Tim, you’re right. Winnipeg would have been closer to the middle — given that the centre is a tad more north than that (see http://bit.ly/138Pz8). But Google hasn’t provided us with Street View there yet, so I was forced to fall back on Toronto.

    Truth-telling time – whose address did you first look up?

    I guess I’ll complain first, on behalf of the BC Privacy Commissioner.
