Canada and the US are part of the same continent, and most of the Canadian population is near the border. For instance, you are located in Toronto, and I'm in Vancouver. For someone in Vancouver, 9 times out of 10, a site in California is going to be faster than anything in Toronto. It is geographically wise and network wise, closer than Toronto. The FreeBSD cvsup mirror in Canada is a good example. It is pretty slow from Vancouver. I'd like to setup another FreeBSD cvsup mirror in Vancouver, Canada, because it would be good for everyone on the west coast.
