Allan,

you're right about the 'claim' .  If this turns out to be the case, the
domain 'internic.ca' should be directed to CIRA.ca which is actually the
starting point for internic in canada.  The current site for internic.ca is
a registration or registrar site, not internic or by InterNic's definition:
'a public registry or database of internet addresses'.  Far from public, and
where are the addresses?.  They should have used 'Registrar.ca'.  Also, CIRA
was set up to FAIRLY give organizations a chance to participate in the .ca
domain registration $process$.  It is obvious that any for-profit
organization using internic.ca to register domains has an unfair competitive
advantage over all other 'equal' registrars in canada.  I'm sure at least
ONE person typed 'internic.ca' thinking it was a starting point to register
a domain in Canada.  The actual starting point is CIRA, with it's list of
registrars doing registrations ( internic.ca is in the list? ).  I heard the
same thing happened in the states ( a private for-profit organization used
internic.com instead of .net ).  They mislead or confused internet users
into thinking they were dealing with internic.net and charged more for
domain registrations.  They ended up shutting them down, and redirecting
that domain to internic.net.
