I haven't used this antenna myself, but your local stations are pretty strong, so there's a good chance you'll be able to pick up most of the stations in the "green" zone in your list.

Other indoor antennas that work pretty well are the Philips PHDTV3 and the Terk HDTVi.

Do you think I can @ least get some of the American channels?
The American stations are too weak to get with an indoor antenna. You might get lucky on one or two of them, but most of them will require an attic or rooftop antenna.

Or, is it a waste of money as I'll only get 3 or 4 local channels?
It looks like there's 7-8 local Toronto stations that you're likely to get. Some of the digital stations may also carry multiple sub-channels. If you are able to purchase the antenna from a place with a good return policy, then you can try it out and return the antenna if it is not to your liking.
