It sounds like a must-have for anyone considering tracking their car, but Northerners should be warned, as there’s no such package available in Canada. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to test the new package yet. Wait for it to arrive later this year."
But the reference to "Northerners" here implies that the article is targeted primarily at Americans (if it was only intended for Canadians, no such referent would be needed), so I have little doubt that it's the American audience the phrases "can get the new PP" and "wait for it to arrive next year" are addressed to.

That is sort of how I read it as well. Time will tell I guess.

Mind you if you visit Toronto there are as many good coffee bars/cafes in the city as Seattle now. Just avoid the chain-dominated suburban no-go zones.
I might get deported as an enemy-sympathizer for this, but Timmy's is overrated. I actually prefer McCafe.

Let the coffee games begin...

Oh man, I can't stand McCafe in Canada...however i like it in Europe, the latte tastes better in Europe.

My favorite coffee chain is Second Cup ~ Proudly Canadian
Tim Hortons is in close second

Everything else I avoid. And if were talking about hype and overrated coffee, Starbucks wins!

Starbucks coffee is as inoffensive as it gets. I'm no fan of coffee, but I end up drinking a lot of their half-gallon bottles at home. Cuz caffeine.

Let's talk about beer now, mmmkay?

Ahhhhhhhh, noooo, it tastes like burnt tire. T_T Get a cup at Blue Bottle and then tell me Starbucks is inoffensive. I freely admit that I can barely distinguish Shock Top from Guinness, though, so feel free to call me a total pleb.

I had the pleasure of visiting South America, and now all North American coffee is flavourless swill to me.
And don't get me started on cream and sugar - "once you go black, you can't go back"

I like coffee. I don't care who makes it as long as it is hot. Could probably put all the ones that everybody says are the best in front of me and I could not tell the difference. As long as it is coffee it is great.

You'll hate me. I buy unsweetened, plain Starbucks at the grocery store in the half-gallon, pre-brewed container. Then I mix it about 50/50 with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I can drink about a quart of that a day.

Hey, to be fair, that's better than just plain Starbucks.
