Bummer. I don’t know if they’ll ship to Canada.

The Canadian Amazon.com seems to list the original Prime. But their USA store might ship a new version to Canada?

Keep searching using the G2's model number: 2AP18AA
Last I looked on Amazon US, the G2 wasn't available from Amazon, but there was one 3rd Party seller that just popped up offering the 2AP18AA for $226, about $90 too high. Amazon also has one seller advertising a "V2" which was a questionable tactic as it's the G1, Rev C. (i.e. V2 of the G1).

NewEgg has a 3rd Party seller (ATHQ) offering the G2 for $145

Rakuten has same seller, ATHQ, selling them for $140, with free shipping:
Currently looks like Rakuten is also offering a 15% discount with a SAVE15 code that can be applied during checkout when you get to the payment part - you have to remember to put it in, and then it knocks the total down. You also have to register with them and have an account, and sign in, to apply discount codes (won't work if you try to check out as an unregistered "guest" or if you don't sign in). That 15% knocks the price down to about $120 plus sales tax.

Best Buy is selling them for $150 - the highest other than the outrageous one on Amazon.

Best deal going right now is on Rakuten from their ATHQ seller. Same guy is selling them on eBay, but for more. I bought mine from him through Rakuten a little over a month ago, and Rakuten was offering a %20 percent discount on "office" stuff the time. Got while the getting was good because that disappeared in a couple of days. Now there's the 15% but there's nothing stating when that will disappear. The Prime G2 is out there, but it takes some looking. I had to use the model number in the searches and carefully sift through the results to eliminate all the G1 still being offered. Hope this helps.
