I'm sure he sold some domains over the years, but I guess the ride's over now.

Guess who owns MapleMotel.ca & MapleHotel.ca

Whats the difference between them and those in the article above?

WinnipegMotels.com can only be uses in Winnipeg, whereas Maple is universal and can be used anywhere giving it many different end users.
