This is a courtesy message to inform you that both CIRA (.ca) and VeriSign (.com) will implement a price increase by the following amounts, effective September 1st, 2023:

.CA - CAD$1.00

As usual, Namespro.ca will increase our price by no more than the amount of the registry increase, without making further profits. The upcoming price hike might impact your plan for renewals / transfers / new registrations. Therefore, we would like to give you a one-month heads-up so you can plan accordingly.

Yeah, I've gotta find the time to get it done, but I'm going on a renewal spree soon...

@domains , Not everyone is just increasing by $1.00. Some are using this opportunity to jack up their renewal rates. Wonder what the "sponsors" here would be doing.

This price increase could not have come at a worse time.

The economy is tanking, interest rates keep jumping, the job situation is far worse than the (fake) stats attest, and people continue to flood into Canada and create significant stress on our infrastructure, all while the traditional Canadian goal of "owning a house and/or a business" has transformed into a pipe dream.

New home construction will never meet this insane level of demand but high interest rates also creates a terrible atmosphere for new business startups and existing SMBs looking to expand or improve, while obviously aiding the existing billionaires (i.e the people who actually run Canada - Trudeau refers to them as "stakeholders") with their ever-growing monopolies seeking the absolute cheapest mass-labor possible.

It's pretty grim out there for the average Canadian and I think we're just getting started - currently, we're the Titanic catching first sight of the iceberg in the distance...

"Hey," says a random CIRA bean exec with an Arts degree, "Sounds like a great time to crank .CA renewal rates!"

Couldn't have said it better
