Netflix streaming arrived in Canada this week.
There is a one month free trial and unlimited streaming (but technically limited by your usage-cap) for $8 per month on a variety of devices, including the iPad. There seems to be a very limited number of shows to watch, compared to the offerings in the U.S.
It was not without a few controversies: it seems actors were hired to portray passer-bys excited by Netflix and these actors were subsequently interviewed by the press for quotes. The CEO of Netflix apologized for a joke he made about self-absorbed Americans.
(Coincidentally, Blockbuster, DVD rental company, filed for bankruptcy in the US.)
