  I'm in the UK and recently had a .ca domain name deleted by the registrar after owning it for 3 years. The registrar had been acting as a 'local presence agent' to bypass the requirements that .ca domains be registered by a Canadian citizen or business, of which I am neither.

Luckily nothing really became of the domain, so it wasn't a big deal.
