I was thinking one of the interesting threads I look for on sites are the Development discussions. I particularly would like to start some discussion around developing .ca's into profitable businesses. I know a lot of ecomm / developers say you are limiting your market by developing on a .ca but @mapledots is proof that you can build a 6 or 7 figure business on the back of a .ca .

I think that discussion would be great, also there are typically a lot talented and driven people lurking around the .ca thread and Joint ventures might be another interesting topic?

Just my thoughts.

I think there are lots of opportunities to develop on .ca domains. That said, if I was looking at the US market also, I wouldn't use a .ca for that, obviously. The US market has the advantage of 10 times the population, but also 10 times the competition. Like most development, no matter where you are. it just takes work.
 
I think the ideal situation for a JV is not with another domainer. This is what I want to hear on my answering machine one day: "hey, I've been in the [whatever] industry for decades, I had a big exit from my last business, I'm too young to retire, and my non-compete clause has just expired, so I'm ready to go at it again. I see you own the category killer domain for my industry, can we talk?" Now that's the ideal situation to consider a JV.

While I won't disagree, I will point out that I saw one business selling a single product online using a product keyword.CA domain, shipping world wide, advertised through social media, and were absolutely killing it, like 6 figures a month with very high margins. Canada is a trusted country, so it didn't seem that the CA hurt them at all. If anything, it might have given them a boost in credibility with the .CA - giving the false impression it wasn't some product from China (which it was).

Oh, and like 75% of their sales were to the U.S.
