Fine, although I agree with Brad that it’s just “meh” (which also turned out to be the sound bite the CBC used in their interview with me about it), that didn’t stop me from requesting an invite, though I guess I should have just waited:

via Facebook’s new Messages not available in Canada – Digital Life.
I should have guessed as much.
