Is shop.ca a wasted domain? (1.Viewing)

shop.ca forwards to trulocal.ca

It seems a waste of a top end domain pointing to a misspell ho-hum domain

indeed it is a waste but this could be one of those scenarios that they know they own a fantastic domain so if they do decide to sell shop.ca, they still have their main domain in TruLocal with no work needed on their backend to change domains or reconfigure anything.

Swipe.com (bookstore based out of Toronto) does the same thing as @MapleDots has pointed out in the past.
