Good news !

Sirius XM Radio support is just available in the US, the only market where the satellite radio service operates, while Spotify support is available in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and Ireland.

First of all, Sirius is available in Canada. Second, they decided to NOT include Sirius Canada as an Alexa skill (which is a big reason I purchased it, so I hope this changes).

One other big gripe I have is why they felt the need to muck things up by differentiating between US english and Canadian english. There's a bigger difference between American accents then there is between US and Canadian accents! If Alexa can understand someone from Boston or Alabama, it'll understand someone from Canada!

About, pasta, house, garage and Mazda are just a few Canadian pronunciations that come to mind that might confuse Alexa.

Know what I mean, eh?

Spent a lot of time in Calgary.

Alexa... What is Loonie pitching? That would stymie her. LOL!
