Good day everyone,

I cannot find the charter for this group, so I'm not sure it's the
right place to ask this question, but here goes:

I have a need to use the 'whois' command for Internet sites in Canada,
but most of the time, the answer is simply 'No match for "BLABLA.CA"'.
Must be that canadian sites are not registered with the NIC.  But then,
where are they registered? And more pragmatically, what whois server is
available for *.ca sites?

Thanks for your time.  E-mail preferred, but post if you must.  I will
summarize if it appears useful.
