Starbucks to offer free Wi-Fi in Canada, too

Thanks to a partnership with Bell, Starbucks Canada has announced that it will be joining its American brethren in offering free Wi-Fi to all customers come July 1st. A one-click login system means that passwords and users names are not required. Anyone planning to waste away Canada Day holed up in a Starbucks with an iPad and Frappuccino in hand?

P.S. Are we the only ones that find it odd that Starbucks would take the time to mention that its free Wi-Fi is perfect for people who are unemployed?

      I can’t even find a power outlet at Tim Horton’s, let alone WiFi.

      P.S. their coffee is terrible

    What i find odder than Startbucks broadcasting it’s wi-fi to jobless people is . . . . you assuming they can afford their coffee much less an iPod.

    with that being said…. cool i can hook up netbook for free and drink water and save money.

    So what if unemployed people use the free wifi? Isn’t Starbucks always hiring?

  • Ernie

    But I thought Starbucks already has free wifi in Canada, its just that you only get 2 hours of it, not unlimited wifi.

    With the amount of social security jobless people get in canada, it’s no surprise they can afford a daily starbucks.
