It was the pickiness that made me choose a .ca domain.  I'd heard about
retailer-registrars that keep ownership of the domain name for
themselves, so that in law I, the customer, could lose the name if the
retailer got a better offer.  I found out at the CIRA booth at one of
the IT360 shows that CIRA specifically does not allow this.  So that was
my choice, after they relaxed the rules so that I could get in at all.
