Canada is finally getting its own edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," reports Reuters. But given the exchange rate, the top prize would only amount to U.S. $676,000. (On the other hand, the prize money to the north will be tax-free.) The show is scheduled to hit the air in September -- as a one-time special, not a series.
