XM Weather throughout Canada

I have a 396 and live in Chatham Ontario. I've called XM several times
over the last year and I get the same answer that "Canadian weather is
coming soon". However, I'll believe it when I see it. The good news
is the radar covers Southern Ontario and I use the METAR's and TAF's
from Detroit City as a proxy for Chatham. Buffalo or Rochester works
for Toronto. It's certainly not ideal...

One of the guys here has a 496 with XM and here on the east coast
(Prince Edward Island), there is no coverage.. once you get to
Fredricton (New Brunswick) you'll start to pick up some of the
data...then you'll have the data all the way to Toronto. So it is a
bit helpful. But you don't get the TAFS and METARS.

How far north can XM be reliably received from the air? Canada? Alaska?
(How for south also, for that matter...)

Does anyone have any information when/if we're going to be able to get
our 496 units to recieve Canadian weather information?

Happy Holidays,
