When you type Google.com and Amazon.com into a browser, do they detect your IP and automatically redirect you to the .ca versions?

If not, do you usually go to the .ca versions anyway?

I think google used to redirect, but believe it or not, Google.com is somehow better than Google.ca, which is why I use .com.

Yes for google, no for amazon. I can't get Google.com, I tried searching for it and I get .ca still.

Yeah, and Amazon doesn't redirect, but Amazon.com is FAR better than Amazon.ca

True, google.com is better than google.ca, but Sydlexia.ca is far superior to Sydlexia.com

Amazon.ca is better than Amazon.com because you can order Are You Afraid Of The Dark from it.
