Canada-specific affiliate programs?

Any seperate network from the US ones?

[1Lit]

(1) CJ has a few Canadian affiliate programs such as ebay.ca. Is there any of way of getting a list of them all? We are not based in Canada, and the only option seems to be to go to Advanced Search [members.cj.com], but then you have to enter the keywords associated with the programs you are seeking alongside the country. Any way of building a list without the keywords?

(2) I know that Canada is an American colony and therefore it is mostly served by US companies, but is there any network which specialises in Canadian affiliate programs?

Thank you very much :)

>> I know that Canada is an American colony

whoa - be careful there brutha. We're a sovreign nation dude and we're likely to get jiggy all over you if you suggest otherwise ;)

That said - why would you want Canadian affil programs? In spite of the fact that we Canucks have it goin on up here our dollar sucks. I'd much rather make US money and spend it up here in the Great White North.

You could try canada.com, but it's just a suggestion. I don't know anything about affiliate programs.

I do know, however, that you can expect some indignant replies to your assertion of Canada being an American colony - just ignore them - America-bashing is a favorite passtime up here, allowing people to think that we are some kind of soveriegn nation, without admitting that we are Americanized.

Axacta - do I have to get jiggy all over a fellow Canuck?...oh...I see...you're from Edmonton...nuff said :)

where's the antinomy "sovereign nation" - "americanized" ?
germany is americanized too in a way.. although i'd tend to say westernized..
still it's a sovereign nation

You could also try alberta.com or sympatico.ca.

Canadian merchants with affiliate programs are indeed hard to find. I've looked a lot but only ever found a few.

Being "not American" is one of the ways Canadians define ourselves. Our secret goal is to make the US into the eleventh province.

We even have a website for it :)

Good one oilman. But heaven help the world... :)

Now this is scary. Check out the Hate Mail page - some people seem to actually believe this stuff!

I thought the United States was a Canadian Territory!

When did this change...

I was just being provocative with that remark about Canada being a colony ;) but it's a ploy to make you Canadians realise how reliant you are perceived to be on all things American and pull you back towards your former mother country. You can guess where I'm from :)

ebay.ca has a good program through commission junction.

We've already got you covered. I understand the best player on your world cup team is a Canadian. What would you do without us? :)

Amazon.ca just launched a canada specific affiliate program
