It's not illegal, it's just 'bad form,' since it leaves users confused as to what happened, and slows them down in trying to get to the intended site. One cure for end-users such as yourself is to set their computers' DNS server settings to something other than Rogers -- either those provided by another ISP, or one of the many free DNS service providers (some of these also capture typo traffic, so be selective).

Yeah. Bad form sounds more like it...I think Rogers is a big enough company already without them employing black hat tactics to obtain more advertising revenue

Yes, unfortunately this is becoming common practice. I don't like it either. This same topic popped up one year ago. Here is some further reading:
