Today we had a customer call to inform us that he intends to transfer his
Web hosting and domain registration elsewhere. The reason? Because we're
doing business with Canadians.
He did some research into his domain name and ferreted out the secret we
all so desperately try to keep hidden: Tucows has a Canadian address, and
is in fact staffed by known Canadians.
He's from the Southern US, and informed us that he would only do business
with American companies. "Canadians don't like us", he stated. He further
noted that if you give Canadians money, "you're just feeding the wolves."
It's not clear whether he felt that the Canadian people were metaphorical
wolves when it comes to finance, or if he literally thought the money was
used to feed a pack of wolves, which Tucows presumably keeps for
protection against grizzlies, etc., while crossing the howling wild
tundra around Toronto.
