Launched March 14th amid sounds of Canadian Geese honking, Moose singing, and beavers splashing, Amp'd Canada is no more. Not even 5 months down the road, the Telus -- Telus provided the Amp'd service in Canada -- links to the Amp'd web site are gone, the Amp'd Canada site is offline, and even retailers have quietly boxed up the goods. We've not seen anything official, but if we were betting types here at Engadget Mobile, we'd put some spare change on them not resurfacing anytime soon.
Wow, not even a full week after Amp'd America died, Amp'd Canada dies too.
"It's been an uncertain situation, and at this point we felt that it's best to discontinue sales in Canada" -- Telus spokeswoman

www.ampd.ca works fine for me...of course i didn't try to actually purchase anything but the site does not appear to be down. Also on a side note my paygo ampd hollywood is still working...
yeah my paygo ampd jet works also, but can we still add anymore minutes to it?
Amp’d Mobile regrets that operations and sales have been suspended in Canada.
If you are an existing client, TELUS will contact you shortly with more information, including details about a great new phone and entertainment plan that will be offered in place of your Amp’d Mobile service.
Through the transition period, please be assured that all voice and messaging services will continue to function on your Amp’d Mobile phone. However, multimedia services are likely to be disrupted at any time.
