strangeness with .ca lookups

Seems like something strange is going on:

Do a domain name search for bmw.ca for example. You'll get a
"Pre-registration for bmw.ca! " type message returned. Now go to CIRA and do
a WHOIS on bmw.ca :

Renewal Date 2010/08/30
Date approved 2000/09/21
Last changed 2000/11/02

The domain should not be available for pre-registration... Try another -
antarcti.ca for example. "Pre-registration for Antarcti.ca! "

Renewal Date 2002/07/13
Date approved 2000/10/17
Last changed 2000/11/22

Another one - it should not show as available for pre-registration.

Now try one registered at opensrs: hosting.ca , for example. "Sorry,
hosting.ca has already been reserved."

Something is wrong here.
