Just because you can't buy it in Canada doesn't mean you can't get it.
For example, several etailers will ship you satellite radios. Namely, www.tigerdirect.ca, www.ecost.com, www.etronics.com.
I've been wanting to get it myself because I feel Ottawa radio is crap. There are tons of stations but none of them play what I want to hear. But on Sirius there are at least four stations far superior to anything I can get on FM. While on XM there are two stations that I'd prefer over anything on FM.
I'm leaning towards getting Sirius. It's about $3 more a month then XM but it has more stations that I would listen to. The general rule about the stations is that Sirius plays more hits while XM has plays a wider range of music. For example, there might be a dozen more different Pearl Jam songs played on XM during a month then Sirius.

I also read that Sirius is the only network with NHL coverage. Not that it makes a difference right now, but that's one of the main reason's I'd go with sirius. I think I'd like the wider range of music on XM, but I've heard the talk/info/sports stations are better on Sirius.
Not sure what XM offers, but Sirius offers a life-time subscription for $499 US. You'd never have to pay another bill. So I guess that would be worth it if you're planning to subscribe for any longer than 3 years.... and you have $500 laying around.
