On google.com (US), they made a change a while back so that the top bar would fade into view. It would appear that they attempted to do the same thing on .ca, but screwed up actually changing the opacity after load.

The fix is to change "opacity: 0" in the source to "opacity: 1". How you want to do that is another question. Greasemonkey? Stylish?
