WMPowerUser is doing a great job of covering the latest Windows Phone 7 news (we’ve got them in our Windows Phone Blogs We Like section, and hey they even have their own WP7 app!), and today they have some good news for our Canadian friends: when Windows Phone 7 launches in the US (last we heard is November timeframe for US, October for Europe), it will launch in Canada, too:

Can’t wait for the new Windows Phone 7!
