From page 3 of the Toronto section of today’s Globe and Mail:

A local activist’s portable hot spot brings the Internet in a backpack
BERT ARCHER
Wireless Toronto, a volunteer group devoted to providing location-specific Internet content across the city through a series of free Wi-Fi hot spots, has been meeting every month for two years to plan new spots and strategies.
But recently they decided they would like to have more fun in 2007, so starting this month, they’re getting together for something called Hack Nights.
Their first project, which they will be field-testing today, is a spanner in the growing Wi-Fi service-industry works, an ambulatory Internet system they call “the Roach Coach.”
“It comes from the nickname for snack trucks,” group founder Gabe Sawhney says. “It came from wanting to offer Wi-Fi for gatherings at Nathan Phillips Square.”
