Some interesting news has come up. The online Apple Store currently lists the iPhone as unavailable. What does this mean? I don't think it means that they are out of stock. If they were short on stock it would say ships in 1-2 weeks or something like that. This probably means that Apple is preparing for the release of the 3G iPhone. Now is Apple waiting until June 9th at the WWDC to unveil the 3G iPhone? We all think that is when they will announce it but it just doesn't make sense for Apple to not sell any iPhones for a month. I think this means that they could be announcing it sooner than expected. The UK Apple store also lists it as unavailable.
So if Apple releases the 3G iPhone before the iPhone is officially available in Canada, we wont be seeing the first generation of the iPhone available from Rogers. It would make no sense for them to release the 1st gen here. This means that are current iPhone owners in Canada will probably have the itch to buy a brand new one. I know I will be lining up at Rogers the night before it comes out. Even if it means shelling out another 400-500 bucks.
I found another hint at the 3G iPhone, as if there isn't enough already. This screenshot shows a 3G on/off slider to enable 3G.

The 3G iPhone will cost more than that.
I'm not sure, there are rumors that AT&T will subsidize theirs and charge $200. I doubt rogers would charge more than $500 bucks for an iPhone. No one is going to pay like $700 bucks for a phone.
