Default Canadian Webmaster forum ?

Hi, I don't know if this is a right place to open the topic, but I was just wondering, any of you know any Canadian webmaster forum ?

I have been looking for one, but I am always thrown away to the US forums or the general .com forums.....

What would a Canadian webmaster forum provide that one of the other ones wouldn't?

Canadian webmasters? Would help the .ca to develop faster? Would help people to have related content and related topics. I am looking forward to start a strong online campaign but there are no Canadian related stuff. I am on a lot of other forums are there is hard to find what you need because of the big diversity of people.

Anyway, there are a lots of benefits from it. Sad that we don't have anything like that.

What exactly are you looking for? I also fail to understand how any other forum can't help you out. A .ca domain still functions the same way a .com does.

For the most part, what we did was we used a US forum service, but we registered a .CA domain and then masked the US forum address.

There are plenty of things....

FOR the beginning, how do you start a link budiling campaign in . Ca? What if I wanna rank only for .ca?

content writing, how could I ask a guy from USA to write me about Calgary? What if there are writers who wanna do it in Calgary?

Blogging and stuff, how do you build a better blog community if everything is about the states?

List is very long, I understand now there isn't such a thing and I understand why people don't want such a thing.

Thanks!

I don't understand how any of those things are different for a .ca domain compared to a .com/.us/.net/.whatever.

You only want to improve search results for people in Canada? Why? Are you worried that people from Australia might see the site?

Your only question that I understand is your desire for Canadian content. If you want to have Canadian content, then have Canadian content. Don't ask American's to write it if that is an issue for you.

I still think SitePoint.com is one of the best webmaster forums. The audience there is international.
