Question Traffic info for Canada & Garmin Mobile PC?

Juste a little question... is traffic data for Montreal available from Garmin ?

I've found this old new: http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2007/09/toronto-ottawa-.html and it's indeed related to FM connected devices but I was wondering if Garmin did the same thing via Web connection.

I tried on my Garmin Mobile PC and traffic info is only available in the US.
Any info about that someone ?

(Actually, on website www.traffic.com, they obviously only propose traffic infos for US cities).

I figure at the rate the big companies are improving coverage on the Canadian Prairies I'll be way too old to drive before they ever get traffic coverage for my area. ... Not that traffic is a big issue in Regina. I can get from anywhere to anywhere else in town in fifteen to twenty minutes, or twenty-five in rush hour.

...and the rush hour is from 4:00pm to 4:05pm, isn't it?
