Google to Launch Google Finance Canada
Finance July 30th, 2007 - By HaochiGoogle is set to launch the Canadian version of Google Finance next Tuesday, they “slipped” the words too soon on their blog, as Garett Rogers put it. Google edited the post soon after it was published with, “Oops. We hit the button too soon. Watch for news about Google Finance in Canada next Tuesday.”
Thanks for the beauty of the Internet, we can still recover the original text,

We’re pleased to introduce Google Finance Canada, a localized version of Google Finance tailored specifically, as you might guess, for Canadian investors. Canadians are the second largest group of Google Finance users, and as a Canadian myself, I’m excited to see Canadian financial information presented in the familiar easy to use Google Finance format. This new edition includes:
- Top financial news from Canadian sources
- Search with a preference for Canadian companies
- Front-page high level economic data from the Bank of Canada
- Portfolios in Canadian currency (or the currency of your choice)
- Equity data from the Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, and Canadian mutual funds
In addition, stock quotes and charts for Canadian-listed companies are now available through the Google.com web search.
The Canadian version will likely to be located at http://finance.google.ca, which is currently redirecting to Google Finance.
