Not available in the app store in Canada.

It puzzles me why people do this, because it is just as easy to make the app available everywhere as it is to limit it to a particular country.

Anyway, interesting idea. Pity about the gunshot wound in your foot. Hope it heals.

Simply put, I did it because what is interesting for Canadians or Australians is slightly different from what matters to people in US. I'm working to open it to other countries as well, but that requires some work on my side. At the moment is only available in US, UK and Italy. I should've mentioned it.
My guess would be avoiding legal headaches. It is easy to know what is allowed or not in your own country, but you have no idea in other parts of the world. That and less maintenance.
