Very good to hear, thanks Shawn! The goal is to use absolute canonicals, but for a period of time, we may have to use protocol relative. The redirects in place should avoid any duplicate content issues, which seems to be the big landmine.

RE: Can we create regional pages on Facebook?
Yes, it is still possible. I see this features utilized by a number of brands in my vertical.
The redirect is automatic, based on location, and underneath the brand name and segment there's a link with the wording "Redirected from [main_page_name]".
The Like count is shared, and if a user mouses over the "redirected from..." link text they see a pop-up with the header of the primary page.
Definitely do-able, and I would say increasingly popular for major brands with a strong international presence.
Cheers!
