I thought Canada was still in love with blackberry. It makes me wonder if this is some sort of marketing ploy microsoft tried with the surface having lines and being sold out.

Was the Canadian populace ever in love with Blackberry?

No more than any other country.

The Canadian media was in love with Blackberry.

Obviously, but does the Canadian media alone cause a Nexus cellphone to sell out within an hour? :P

I haven't seen a blackberry in the wild in 3 or 4 years.

I see a lot of bb10s in the financial district in Toronto. A few friends hav them and love them, too. shrug

The Surface lines weren't marketing ploys. They just happened to consist mainly of excited MSFT employees.
