I live in the U.S.
I’m unable to connect to a .ca web address, it reverts to a .com address. Do you know of a workaround?
I love your postings!
I’m sorry to learn the link doesn’t work for you. That’s disappointing. I guess they really did mean the access was for Canadians. It’s interesting that from Canada I can link to the .com, .uk, and .au versions, without issue.
