Those wacky Canadians are back with more .ca commercials
By: Andrew Allemann (Domain Name Wire Domain Name News)
Canadians do have an eclectic sense of humor.
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.
The right mix of serious and silly.
They got “sorry” wrong.
Soory aboot dat!
😬
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.
Look at you misinterpreting a comment again, so cute
Opinions do vary .....
Hmnmmm guess some Canadians can't take a joke ..... noted
This just might be a good idea...
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.
You wish but keep pushing that fucked up narrative, just keep pushing it ..... maybe someday it will actually come true
