I am Canadian [coolcanuckaward.ca] :)
It's nice to see CIRA demonstrating leadership. CIRA runs a fairly lean operation, too, with .ca costs FALLING to CAD $8.50 [www.cira.ca] per domain-year (equivalent to roughly USD $7.34 at current exchange rates), with a registry of only 650,000 domain names. With .com having approximately 50 million domains, and the huge economies of scale inherent in running a registry, that gives you a sense of the monopoly profits VeriSign is earning per domain -- the current proposed settlement will actually make .com domains cost more at the registry level than .ca!
