Does the owner of domain.on.ca also has a say over all other domain.prov.ca domains?
Or could my client register domain.ab.ca, and then upgrade it later to domain.ca,
without the permission or domain.on.ca, who apparently doesn't want it?
If my client had been aware of this, I am certain they would have registered the
domain.ab.ca equivalent prior to the change, and then upgraded it, but they decided it
was less hassle just to wait, and see if the existing domain.on.ca wanted the
domain.ca.
This will a pretty difficult problem to explain to my client, as it is very difficult
to see the justification for someone with a provincial level domain holding the .ca
hostage forever.
