UK Sites, UK First
What do I mean by this?
Ok here’s what I mean: I visit a lot of websites, part of my job I suppose. In that, I fill a lot of forms in, and of all of them, and I mean -ALL-, not one in the UK has the UK as the default country. It’s always the US.
Come on, if you’re a UK site, put the UK as the default country selection. Get some balls, show us you love the UK and want UK surfers first!

I use .com too, and should be using .ca. But the thing is. .com is so common.
Even The Diplomat is using .com and IMO, should be using .ca since it is a business after all. And the thing is, a lot of Canadian businesses still use .com too instead of .ca.
It may be because awhile back getting a .ca address meant you had to get your provincial abbr with it also, so it would be site.nb.ca. A pain in the ass if you ask me, but now you don’t have to do that, but it’s probably to late to have people start using it now, since we’re all hooked on the .com now.
The thing is - lots of sites that -are- .co.uk do it, and I presume .ca do the same. They should presume you’re from the UK, not the US, or in your case from Canada, not the US. Bad coding IMHO…
