Canadian domain names in the 90s also followed this newsgroup-like syntax: <website>.<city>.<province>.ca

At least one site (transit.toronto.on.ca) still has an active domain in that format, even though it’s not operationally-related by the City of Toronto.

It’s quaint that folks wanted to root their web presence in their physical world.

Like ouac.on.ca.
Tangential: toronto.edu redirects to U of T.

Major early 1990s vibes and the woody smell of the graduate computer labs.

Hopefully I get to go to Toronto lol.
