Don't get your panties in a knot. There are accounting/legal issues to bring the paid market to new areas. The first canadian carrier to carry an android device was just a FEW DAYS AGO (less than one month). Give it time and the paid market will be made available, or option #2 is to run a program called "market enabler". Do a google search for it. Note that market enabler requires root access, and yes, you can root your rogers/dream as of now (search for xda forum).
And FYI: The label "G1" does not in any way apply to your device. G1 is just what tmobile calls their *UNBRANDED* HTC Dream. I further suggest that if you can't read (you suggest that the guides are "too long for me to read" - I can only imagine that this means that you are just barely literate), then you might just want to wait for a while until the accounting/legal issues have been dealt with.
