Alexa will finally be released in Canada on December. @ Ashok, when can we expect Almond skills in Canada?

I don't think the Almond skill specifically was ever geographically locked up for us. I've always had access to my Almond+ devices, even when my Echo's address was set to a US address. Right now I'm having some issues refreshing the skill itself because of a language conflict (English US vs. English Canadian), but I expect that to shake itself out on Dec 5/6th or whenever the official rollout happens up here in Canukistan. I'm the meantime, Alexa is still discovering Almond devices as usual (be prepared for duplicates: Hue lights will pop up in the Alexa app twice - once when it scans your Hue hub, and once more if they are also set up in your Almond.)

Alexas Home Automation leaves a lot to be desired, for example, I can no longer figure out how to delete removed devices. I can only disable them, but they still show up... I like Alexa's voice control and other features but Amazon needs some improvement here. Google Assistant (Home) seems to have passed them in terms of Home Automation controls.
