: What is the value of the redirecting the .ca domain to the .com for a site serving the USA and Canada? Lets say that there is a population of Canadians who don't know about a example.com.

Lets say that there is a population of Canadians who don't know about a example.com. Thy are instructed to go visit the website: "example". If only example.com is registered, and not example.ca:


What percentage of those Canadians will assume a .ca TLD?
Of those, how many of them will be "lost visitors" because they were confused by a website that is (a) non-existent or (b) redirecting to a competitor and couldn't figure it out?
Of those "lost visitors" who couldn't even figure out the URL, how many would've been able to actually use the website without someone holding their hand every step of the way? I.e. do we even want these users in the first place? (Struggling to word this question in a more neutral tone)
