    Re: USA listed 10 Countries on Piracy… of movies, songs, DVDs, etc. Jobs lost by thousands !! Is this a fact or fiction?? What was USA thinking when they supported "Free Trade", why are knock-offs and pirated products available for sale in the USA? Most likely the Govt., is loosing tax revenues and the poor singers, actors, and other performers who are paid in millions are loosing their hard earned…"Royalties"!!! What is the TRUTH ? We will never know. Start by banning imports of copy-cat and pirated products in your own country..USA, keep your backyard clean and than attack other countries!! Thank you.

    ComScore Media Metrix, the onlnie advertising and traffic authority, who ranks based on a statistically viable sample of actual Canadians says otherwise. For example (I can't disclose specific figures or rankings publically, unfortunately), NY Times Group and Amazon are a part of the real Top25 reach online properties in Canada whereas the Government sites don't appear there.

  • Unforunately only 3 of those 25 web sites are actually Canadian owned or operated. Give or take 2.

    NHL.com is probably an american company and eBay I believe (if memory serves me correctly) had a Canadian born executive.

    In anycase, there are far to few Canadian web sites, genuinely Canadian. Buying a .ca top level domain does not qualify as being 110% Canadian.

    While were still in very early beta and the design and code are being re-factored in some places and re-written in others, I really wish sites like CliqueCanada got more attention, especially from Canadian media.

    Cheers,
