Are you talking about Money 20/20 in Vegas, October 25-28? If so, I don't see any Apple people in the featured speakers on their website. So I wouldn't expect anything from that.

Yes Money 20/20. Could be a surprise speaker. If not then who knows when Apple Pay comes to Canada.
 
I use the NFC on my Mastercard in Canada all the time. The only places that haven't tap-enabled is the local 7-11, and some restaurants with the older TD leased equipment. All the grocery, fast food (except Chipolte which still uses swipe-card PoS) and gas stations have NFC payments.
