Don't complain.  With the exchange rate you should be getting about 40% 
more hits.   ;-)

Actually, that's not all that surprising.

Google also changes it's behavior based on where it *THINKS* you are... 
when I connect to google.com from home, everything works as I expect.  If, 

however, I connect to my companies corporate VPN, and visit google.com, I 
get redirected to google.ca ... yes, the corporate offices are in Canada 
... but why should google make the decision for me that I really want to 
use their Canadian servers if I go to google.com?
