If you’re mainly targeting other Canadians, you might be better off with .ca anyways. If I see something is a .ca, I’ll stay longer and poke around because I know I won’t run into “we don’t ship to/service Canada”. I LOVE seeing .ca because I know I’m in the right place, this website and product is meant for ME.

You’ve already hoarded a good domain for service to America, tell the guy to kick rocks.
