Ok, not really. I'm sure THQ loves Canada just as equally as the rest of the world. However, it turns out that a whole bunch of copies of Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor shipped up in Canada with incomplete instruction booklets. Inconveniently, the section that was 'incomplete' just happened to be the section where the CD key was supposed to go. Oops!
Don't despair, my Canadian friends. If you bought the game and your CD key is missing, you just need to take a picture of the back of your manual where the key was supposed to go and a picture of your sales recepit, and send them to THQ's support site. It's good that the Canucks are such an upright and honest people (except for Vlambo), as there is NO WAY this could be abused to get a free copy of the game.

I've had a few PC games that the CD keys wouldn't work and when I buy a game to go home and play I don't want to wait a week while some retarded "tech" teams asks me a bazillion questions about entering my CD key wrong.
One was Splinter Cell about 2 years ago and after a week they told me to "Try again" and magically it worked.
Stupid cd keys.
DLC: PS3, January. Xbox 360, late March
Create Patch: PS3: Also January, Xbox 360: Still no, and likely not happening.
Why do I get the feeling that you where being sarcastic when you said that there is NO WAY this could be abused to get a free copy of the game? There really is no way to abuse that. I doubt they are going to send you a new copy of the game they are most likely just emailing (or perhaps at the most snail mailing) the needed CD key so your still going to need to have the game to use it. If you want to get the game free you still need to download it and it would be less work to find a cd key or a crack online then it would be to abuse this system.
On a side not CD KEYS ARE EVIL! I don't care if they are less malicious then other forms of DRM but just because they are more common doesn't make them less of an annoyance. My internet connection went down for a brief bit a while ago and I was bored so I figured I would give tron 2 another go (which I bough legally and payed for) so I went to install it (I had cleaned out my hard drive reinstalled windows since the first time I tried the game) and it wouldn't let me without the CD key. I have no clue where the original box and manual was. So I instinctively went to get one online which I obviously failed to do for the same reason I wanted to play Tron 2. I shouldn't have to look for serial keys and cracks for games I bought. The thing is that you ONLY have to go looking for serials and cracks for games you bought because when you pirate games they almost always come precracked or with an included serial number.
