Well seeing as how there is no Verizon or Vodafone (correct me if I am wrong) in Canada, I'd say there is a good chance that one of your three major phone companies will get the Thunder. Whether or not t is Telus, I can't say, but I don't think for a second that RIM would ignore the entire Canadian country because they have an exclusivity agreement with companies who don't service Canada at all.

Well, it is considered a Verizon/Vodafone project. It is similar to the first iPhone, not the 3G. It will probably be on Verizon/Vodafone for a year or two and then will possibly made public to other carriers, but doubtful.

Right now, it will be exclusive to Verizon and Vodafone.
