They should presume you're from the UK, not the US, or in your case from Canada, not the US. Bad coding IMHO... The thing is - lots of sites that -are- .co.uk do it, and I presume .ca do the same.

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.
