On Friday Rogers announced the contract rates for the iPhone in Canada.  Suffice it to say they have made it pretty much unaffordable. Don't take my word for it though, check out their rate plans here:

With those rates you're looking at $2160 +iPhone over three years for their most basic plan with no extra features (eg, call display).  If you go for the full package, which by the way is not unlimited like they are in the US, you'll end up paying $4860 +iPhone over 36 months.  As a friend of mine pointed out, that's a pretty expensive toy.

What can you do about it?  Head on over to RuinediPhone.com and sign their petition.  While you're there give them a Digg as well.
