I just came across this site, nice compilation of some of the artificial intelligence activity in Canada. Canada.ai

🇨🇦 The Country Where .com Isn’t Popular – Canada In most countries, .com is more popular than local domain extensions. But not in Canada — where companies often avoid using .com for their websites. 🤔 Why? Because the U.S. and Canada share an economic zone, and many U.S. companies sell to Canadian customers through .com sites. 📦 The problem? Canadian users often don’t realize the site is U.S.-based until it’s too late. Common issues when buying from a U.S. .com site: 1️⃣ Import duties 2️⃣ Expensive shipping 3️⃣ Slow delivery times 4️⃣ High return costs 💸 As a result, Canadians tend to: 🔍 Search with “Canada” or a city name ✅ Click only .ca domains ⚠️ Double-check the address if it's .com Over time, trust has shifted entirely to .ca domains, and even local companies prefer .ca over .com to avoid losing customers. 💡 If you're investing in domains for the Canadian market, avoid .com. Outbound sales efforts with .com simply don’t work here. 📉 Canada is one of the rare countries where .com loses.
