It used to be the case that the TIME you got in Canada was essentially
the same as the one you get in the US.  In the past year, however, I
have noticed a significant change.  I am not positive (because I've
never bought a TIME outside of North America), but it looks like the
Canadian TIME is the World edition rather than the US one.

As an example, I remember just before the Seoul Games, my parents'
TIME (in Canada) had an insert about various athletes, which was
actually an excerpt from Sports Illustrated (another TIME/LIFE
publication)!  My TIME (in Pittsburgh) didn't have it at all.  I have
often noticed, when I go home to visit, that the covers of the two
editions differ as well.  Often the US edition will some "second-tier"
American personality on the cover, while the "Canadian" edition has
some world leader.
