Right now, if you want an internet domain name that screams 'Toronto,' your best bet is to actually invest thousands of kilometres away in the far-off island kingdom of Tonga, which has .to as its internet country code top-level domain.

UGH. I think you must have read my last post about CIRA and posted this just to rile me up.

The fact that CIRA is pitching .toronto, as a direct competitor to .ca, while their mandate is to protect and service .CA for all Canadians is so effed up to me.

Mr Holland, quit CIRA first to avoid any conflict of interest, then fucking start your own TLD consulting business and do it with your own money. The city of Toronto, if they proceed, can shop around for registry services and will probably choose CIRA anyways. I hope you make boatloads of money pitching new TLD's to cities around the world. But I see this as 100% conflict of interest for CIRA to be involved in pitching a direct competitor to .CA, _especially_ targeting Canadians.

What does everyone else think?
 
Funny enough, https://register.to/ has the CN tower in it's logo and the Toronto skyline as the background to it's website

Wonder how many people know or use the .TO for Toronto centric stuff?
