If you own a .ca domain, you might already have a membership. Otherwise, it’s still a nice list of some Canadian businesses.

I’m scheduling out separate posts with a few of the ones that I thought were neat (ex. the Happy Tears card game)

    Vidéotron has definitely tipped off the authorities to our DNS activity at one point, we got a nasty letter from them saying they got told to tell us to stop visiting a certain website. I don’t think they do that anymore, but they once upon a time did.

    Their DNS is also really slow to replicate, causing issues when toying with DNS records.

    Besides, your ISP can also change the terms at any time.

    I do agree with you regarding American DoH, but note that your Android phone most likely defaults to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers, i.e. Google’s.

      Are we talking about getting a nastygram because you were torrenting? Because Bittorrent just broadcast’s your IP to everyone in the swarm. Your ISP doesn’t have anything to do with that. Your ISP does have an obligation in Canada to forward the nastygram to you from the copyright owner’s lawyer though. Like you said though, I’m not sure that this actually still happens anymore. (how sure are you that it was just because you “visited a website”, which a DNS lookup isn’t even proof of?)

        No, I got some of those more recently, they show you the IP address and the infringed copyright. This is one of the reasons to use a VPN.

        Back maybe 10 years ago they would actually send a letter to tell you, you visited those websites, please refrain. It might have had to do with frequency as well.
