Congrats to CANARIE on Western Canada upgrades to its high-speed network to 400 Gbps. The original Vancouver-Seattle Internet link, established in 1988, ran at 19.2 Kbps. Over 37 years, 20 million times faster.

Feeling my age today. Eric (Hat, to his pals) introduced me at the #HHOF Elmer Ferguson induction in 2017, and @OvertimeScottB was the one who called to tell me I'd been chosen. Eric's just retired and this is Scotty's own HOF weekend. Splendid humans and great writers. #respect

It was 20 years ago today… that operational transfer of the .CA domain registry from the University of British Columbia (UBC) to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) took place.

Thirty years ago this month Canada’s original national Internet backbone, CA*net, was formally opened. It interconnected Canada’s rapidly developing regional networks, and featured three links to the NSFNET backbone in the United States.
