"wait.....the wifi at mcdonalds is free?"I don't know if it's free or not, getting my laptop jacked is not free. Even if you went to a McDonald's that was fairly safe, chances are some 5 year old is going to spill her milkshake on your computer. No Thanks!
"As there are over 6000 McDs in Canada alone, I doubt very much that our enemies to the north will ever see Wi-Fi or the light of day, anytime soon!"Actually, there's a WiFi capable McD's down the road from my house and I live in Newfoundland, Canada. It went through a major overhaul in appearence and was also given WiFi. I believe it's the first of its kind in Canada.

They said 6000 McDonalds location have Wayport in them, not sure if this includes Canada or not. The official press release will come out tomorrow. Here's a link to an interview between IGN and Wayport:<a class="user" href="http://ds.ign.com/articles/659/659017p1.html">http://ds.ign.com/articles/659/659017p1.html</a>
