I think the University of Calgary is actually in the .ca domain. It's a Canadian address. Its just like your very own domain. Your machine tesla is on uottawa.ca. Your University of Ottawa address is not in .edu, but is in .ca. It's interesting though, that you brought up Calgary. Calgary, as I assume our Ottawa poster knows, was very busy over the last week. Grand Central station. All of the politico's seemed to transit the city. Reform Party Leader, Preston Manning, and Conservative Party Leader, Jean Charest, held duelling fund-raising dinners this last Wednesday in Calgary. And Canada's ambassador to the United States, the Prime Minister's nephew -- Raymond Chretien -- left Washington and spoke to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce about NAFTA on Friday. Chretien was particularly troubled by remarks from Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, about wanting to re-open Chapter 19 in the NAFTA. Following his Chamber of Commerce address, Chretien was quoted as saying, "For us, Chapter 19 is the heart of NAFTA. And this dispute mechanism has been put in there to take into account the fact that we are a much smaller economy, a much smaller country. We have to rely on those tri-national panels to defend our interests." Chretien for now is chalking up the threatening comments to political posturing in the run-up to the presidential election next year, otherwise he said, "we will have a serious problem." Chretien also played down security concerns after a knife-wielding intruder broke into his uncle's (the Prime Minister's) home at 24 Sussex. Despite living in Washington, D.C., Chretien said he doesn't fear for his public safety. When he was asked about the lack of visible protection during his visit to Calgary, he said: "I'm just a humble public servant." Alice de 'nonymous ... ...just another one of those... P.S.

True, but as the folks with the export-controlled ftp sites can tell you, you can pretty much register as anything. Eg. U of Toronto has .edu addresses and .ca's , some of my friends around here have .net addresses, and I assume anyone anywhere in the world can probably get something like, ..com, .net, .org (.edu's strictly controlled, isn't it?). (I even know someone in montreal whose company machine is in .se since he works for Ericson (sp?) or somesuch scandinavian company). Which is another spit in ITAR's face, or which meant that Tim wasn't able to get PGPfone from MIT (the prog couldn't figure out if his .net address was in the US) and had to get it off an illegal usenet post.

uncg.edu is in North Carolina. uncg stands for University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
