iTMS Canada -- yes again...

Good news!

from Mac Rumors comes this gem of info:

According to the reply from David Basskin, CMRRA's President, licensing issues have indeed kept Apple from launching iTunes Canada, but the wheels are now in motion:
I'm happy to say that the process of negotiating a licensing deal with Apple is now under way. I met last week with representatives of the company, and I'm confident that our discussions will move ahead quickly. Last week, Steve Jobs told me that Apple couldn't wait to come to Canada, and that it was a very high priority for him. I trust that this enthusiasm will be reflected in a quick and mutually successful negotiation.

Recent emails from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) have reported that they, however, have not been contacted yet by Apple.

Lets hope its all worked out quickly, and the CRIA goes along with whatever the CMRRA says. I should note that the CRIAA website fails to render properly in Safari :( Guess they are not fans of the Macintosh platform at all.
