Careful! "CA" is not an abbreviation for Canada but for California.

So google.ca is California?

LOL.

CA is an abreviation for both, as a country it belongs to Canada, as a US 
state it is Califonia.  Maryland is close enough to the border you know we 
don't live in igloos in July either. 

TO which I can only add - AMEN

Written lower case as ".ca" it's an Internet extension. I don't know of 
any other use where CA  would be understood as any thing but an 
abbreviation for California. I did not want to raise the hackles of 
umbrageous Canadians but was simply trying to avoid confusion.

For proud Canadians, California's population is slightly greater than 
that of Canada.

Understand that.  Have a spare green card?  I hear we can get some decent 
homes for under $200,000.... be happy to buy occupy one.  Winters are so 
much nicer in California.
