Google Street View goes live for iPhones in Canada, stalkers rejoice
After being ousted from the Great North by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada in 2007, Google has been given a reprieve in some Canadian cities. Greater Toronto, Montréal, Metro Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary and other large communities now have Google Street view data available both in the browser and on the iPhone in the Maps application. According to CBC News, Google continued to film some of Canada’s major cities while trying to address the privacy concerns of the Commissioner. Sneaky, sneaky. If you want to get your Street View on, it’s available for use as of today.

I hope they get it in my city. They apparently have it in Squamish, BC. I guess cause it’s on the way to Whistler where alot of the skiing events fir the Olympics will be held. Now all the visitors can check out Squamish. And I can see what’s changed in the last 15 or so years!
There are lots of errors with blurring peoples faces and plates.
Pics of my neighbourhood seem to be a couple months old, i guess they have to process them and also blur out licence plates

Those blurred faces and plates on done on purpose by Google for security reasons
Pretty cool to have this up here.
Does that mean we wont get it in the states ?
All the privacy and security concerns of this are exaggerate.
