The ironic part is that Kik is a Canadian company also in Waterloo.

Wait so the company that's set out to clone BBM is located in the same place as RIM? Dramatic Chipmunk time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw&feature=playe...

Where's the irony?

Tragic irony, not verbal irony. "Paradox that arises from insoluble problems." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony#Tragic_irony

RIM kills Kik to save BBM but is probably killing themselves.

It's like rain on your wedding day.
