I've been looking for some opinions on drip irrigation system vendors, so I entered "irrigation forums" into google and hit I feel lucky. Big mistake.

Mmm... funny, when I cut'n'pasted that into google.ca here, it just gave me a bunch of boring links on gardening and agriculture..

And I don't know of a way to trick google into thinking I'm not in Canada, so.. perhaps best that way!

How about just typing google.com ?

Mark,

Go to www.google.com, as usual. It will bring you to www.google.ca. Click on the link "Go to google.com", last one on the bottom right. Voilą! But sometimes, default settings are best ;-) Click again on the link at the same place: "Go to google Canada" to revert... Otherwise, .com will always come back.

No go. The link for "goto google.com" simply returns me to google.ca again.

No biggie. Forget about it. Google.ca is very likely less censored than google.com anyways.

On the USA site ( ".com" what I keep as my default) the first match in the results is a Greek Civ2 discussion forum. Same site when using the "lucky" button (as it's supposed to be). Next there are a bunch of gardening sites.

Are you sure that's what you were looking for?
