I remember when Shaun was developing licorice.ca:
Best Selection of Licorice in Canada | Licorice Crave.
I reached out privately to tell him how I noticed blacklicorice.ca had dropped and was available.
He was grateful for the tip but seemed a bit uncertain, probably given that he already had the best domain for that niche... and certainly a ton more similar candy domains. Not to mention candy.ca.
Anyway, I just checked the whois for blacklicorice.ca and he did indeed buy the domain. It currently resolves to a GD page which simply indicates it's unavailable and I'm thinking it would be better served as a redirect to his licorice.ca.
@rlm, perhaps this is something you can easily do for his wife if you think it's a good idea. The keywords get about 3600 google searches per month within Canada if my stats are correct.
In any event, I just wanted to share the story.
Here’s a timeline I put together about licorice.ca:
He announced he acquired the domain on January 9th, 2021:
What was your latest Domain Acquisition? (not hand registered)
He actually purchased the domain via
@Traffickerz, a member here:
OFFERS / Liquidating Premiums and Generics
He also owns liquorice.ca, which he bought as a handreg and has it redirecting to licorice.ca:

He spoke a bit about developing licorice.ca in March 2021:

He announced the launch of the site on April 21, 2021:

He spoke of the development of the site here earlier this year:
