Well I'll be...
It does look like it, HHM. But I'm an Aussie, I'm not exactly 100% familiar with American states and all, but that is far too North to NOT be in Canada. See for yourself!
Melissa WAS talking about her power growing, maybe the axons will spread into Canada? Possibly even further if the way of contact changes?

It is not in Canada. If you pull back in the map, you see that it is in Alaska.

I was just about to post that. It's on the Alaskan part of Revillagigedo Island. -shrugs-
Sorry, guys, looks like it's still just the states for now.

Darn, I just pulled out my atlas and looked it through. SO darn close. To the point it's only a few miles from the border.
Still, I stand by my point. Melissa's 'influence' is spreading. We didn't have Axons in Alaska before.

Yeah, I'd say 35-40 miles from the border with BC. Fairly close to Prince Rupert, but I live on the other side of the self censored ing country. Grrr, put some in canada! (I know the PMs are reading this)

I'd like some in Kingston, New York - preferably at the Business Resource Centre, the Applebee's across from the King's Mall, or the Hudson Valley Mall. *nudge nudge, wink wink, PMs!*

Canada is soo stretched out, that they'd only be able to put it in busy areas to make sure someone actually got any axons. If they put an axon in the middle of nowhere where there happened to be a pay phone. No one would get it. Cause when you say in the middle of nowhere in canada, we mean it. But of course we don't have many payphones on the streets......... Actually I barely remember ever seeing a pay phone outside in canada. I might be wrong, but i haven't seen all that many accpeting incoming calls (up until this point I didn't know that pay phones ever did accpet incoming calls) So PM's are your own risk put axons in Canada. Maybe Near Ottawa!

Damn us Canadians are always getting the boot. *sigh We are big, and streched out. But hey we got are own set of interesting little secrets up in the wilderness. If any axon went on I'd hope for the far east or the west coast. Victoria or Vancouver would be great, I live in that area. Wishful thinking I guess.

Well the problem really is that most Payphones in Canada do not accept incoming calls; that is, most Bell payphones and other telephone companies don't allow their phones to do that.
Hence, since Bell Canada = Owning 70% of the country,
we're really out of luck.

I went to college in Peterborough, Ontario and the pay phones in our dorm accepted incoming calls. Apparently this isn't a common thing because when I called Bell to get a line hooked up in my room I gave her the pay phone number for my contact and she didn't believe me that she could call it, so she made me hang up and call back if the phone didn't ring in the next couple minutes. Well, the call came through and she was one surprised Bell operator.
