Those wacky Canadians are back with more .ca commercials
CIRA features Mounties, hockey, bears, and maple syrup in new commercials.

Last year, .Ca country code manager CIRA aired a series of commercials in an advertising campaign called Don't Be a Traitor. Featuring Canadian staples such as Mounties and maple syrup, the commercials espoused the benefits of choosing .ca over .com.

CIRA says the TV commercials were a big success, and it has returned with four new spots this year. The 15-second ads will run on Canadian TV starting Monday, September 14.

The commercials state that Canadian shoppers are four times more likely to choose .ca over .com and refer people to the domain name Choose.ca.

My favorite ad is "Put it on the net", embedded below. Other spots are Domain name of thrones, A winning hand, and Bear necessities.

As a Canadian I can  say that most of us do not speak like that, although there is some regional differences in the Maritimes

I do think we say "sorry" differently. But I agree, I've never said "Aboot" in my life.

Lol I honestly think a lot of people got their ideas on how we speak based on that old 1983 comedy Strange Brew

Oh simmer down, it was a joke.  

One that many Canadians make fun of on a regular basis as well.

Nor have I, nor has anybody I know.  It's a favourite (notice the u?) tease by Americans.

No problem, no plans to visit that progressive shithole ever again after the last border stop debacle.

The Canadian Government can kiss my ass thanks.

Next ......

Hah!!!  The Canadian border customs and immigration officers are obviously really competent.  Your present government can kiss my ass too, and I think that more than half of American citizens feel the same as I do.
