I live in Québec, and I saw it at my local EB games store the day it came out (or the day after, I can't remember), so maybe it depends on where you live. It seems a little strange though, since Québec is kind of lesser known than the other provinces, and that it came here before anywhere else in Canada.
I did notice though, that they don't have it at my local Blockbuster, but that could be because PS2 games are outdated (they don't have many PS2 games for rent anymore anyway).
really because i think of Quebec as one of the place in CA that people DO know that and BC, ontario, and Nova scotia
