		<description><![CDATA[After the election was official this past weekend, canada.votes2011.ca went live, gathering up steam on Facebook and Twitter. It&#8217;s a project that I&#8217;ve been somewhat busy with for the past ten weeks, in anticipation of the five provincial elections coming up this fall.

		<description><![CDATA[After ten years, CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) is finally pushing forward with some new policy changes to bring it in line with how other top-level domains are handled. CIRA is the government-mandated organization under Industry Canada that manages the dot-ca country code top-level domain and has been doing such since December 2000, but it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

While the two partners fight, the company has gone to the dogs; domain names set to renew are being left to expire and no one is replying to any support [...]]]></description>
