Woah thats huge, how can a huge country like Canada not able to handle Harry Potter!

Well not Canada specifically, but the plants in Canada. So thus Canada can't print them anymore.

Oh ok then I getcha, well that is a bit of a problem isnt it

Perhap the US printers will help out our northern neighbors. I hope so. I would hate to think of Canada not having the book on time.

NO WAY. i live in canada. no freaking way.

Yeah it said later on in the piece that the US will be helping out

What a shame...

aw sad if they couldnt do it. but like u said the US will probs help out there.

Aw that's too bad but I'm sure they'll get help!

Oh i do hope they get the books ready in time. Because is isn't that much longer! Its only 52 days to go in the UK! Im so ruddy excited!
Well lets hope the US can get in there soon and help out!! I wouldnt want anyone not to get the chance to get it. I know how i would feel.

That's weird. How possibly can that be? I feel sympathy for you Canadians. Yea, I think the US publishers should help out the Canadian printers. I mean, I agree with you lot who said the US should help out! The potter books should all be out on time to the designated countries!

Yea it is one of their neighbouring countries afterall!

Thanks, guys. Remember though, this is Potter. We Canadians won't be left out, trust me. The article said that a single American printing company will print our version. Lucky them; that would be a sweet contract! Having worked in a print shop before (as a printing press operator) I can vouch for the time element. A small company like Friesens Corporation just can't handle a million copies as well as their other clients, and cannot contract out the work to a bunch of other print shops because of the security issue. (Better that it all be printed in one place where security can be tightly monitored.) I'm sure that this change won't affect our ability to get books on the release date.

ohh my gawsh thats terrible! i feel for the poor canadians *pets them*

Well at least they can still get the book from the US. Sorry Canadians.

Bless

The problem with the Canadian economy is that it can't support a huge operation like some of the printing houses in the U.K or U.S.A because of the tax laws and red tape like that. The small operations that we do have are being flooded when a book like one in the Potter series is made. Due to the fact that they are in such small supply, their client base is very large, and it would't do to relegate one printing house to just the printing of the Harry Potter series. I applaud the U.S because they always seem to help us out.

Thank You, U.S.A!!!

This is weird. They didn't have the same problem for the last books. I hope we'll get our books in time.

I hope you guys get them on time too! I also am all for the U.S.A helping out! Everyone needs a fair chance to read HP the day it comes out, no matter where they live!

Haha!!! Canada, the biggest country in North America, cannot handle Potter's hugeness! Awesome!

canada has a population of 33 million as opposed to 300 million in the US. it's not surprising that they don't have enough resources to print a big number of books.

That's very good. I don't want any hp fan to miss out no matter where they live.

Yay!!! I thank the charity of one of our US publiushers!

oh thats sad! but atleast they still get printed inither places
