Leaked: Google Finance for Canada to launch July 31
Google (GOOG) let the cat out of the bag a little too soon on its Canadian Google Finance announcement. A post at the Official Google Blog that went up at 12:05 p.m. PST on Friday was titled, "Now there's Google Finance for Canada". Dion Loy, a Google Finance engineer, appears to have updated that post, saying, "Oops. We hit the button too soon. Watch for news about Google Finance in Canada next Tuesday."
Google Finance has thus far been a distant competitor to the dominant Yahoo Finance (YHOO).
Personally I would think it great to have a alternative to mainstream quotes to canadian stocks and think its a great idea.
Just my .01 worth.

Ummm..": 1 cent", Yahoo Finance has been in Canada for years, and its far better than Google Finance. Even in America, Yahoo Finance has vastly more users than Google Finance does.
