From what I know, Kijiji is much more popular in Canada than Craigslist. I lived up there for my first year of university and everyone used Kijiji rather than Craigslist so I don't think it's such a big deal. I could be wrong though...

I'm getting this from one of their sites just from going to the URL directly:

about > domain tou violation

Why am I seeing this page?
The website formerly operating at this domain violated craigslist's Terms of Use (TOU), and/or enabled or facilitated others in violating the TOU, and/or infringed craigslist's trademark(s) or other intellectual property. The domain has been transferred to craigslist.
craigslist does not permit automated posting or the employment of posting agents (software or human). Users who post non-local or irrelevant content, repeatedly post the same or similar content, or otherwise misuse craigslist's services detract from the user experience for all craigslist users.
craigslist may take action at any time against those jeopardizing the website or its user experience, violating the TOU or infringing upon craigslist's intellectual property.
craigslist has enjoyed considerable success in such litigation, securing multi-million dollar judgments in a number of cases, and eventually shutting down a variety of illegitimate TOU-violating enterprises, including ones operating outside the United States.
You may wish to:

review craigslist's Terms of Use

follow craigslist legal matters on the company blog

Visit craigslist

yep, they shut themselves down for alleged violations of their own TOS

apparently they might sue themselves as well...

must have run out of users to go after! LOL

You got to love a site that sues regular users who just want to make some money posting, yet you can easily go on there and find some dude that will toss your salad, and stab you when he is done with you. I hope the whole site gets shut down.

I thought my browser was messed up with some glitch with cookies/cache.

Hello, Canada! Technical issues are currently affecting access to craigslist Canada sites for many users.

All hands are working to get this sorted out asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Everything will be fixed shortly. Seems like a problem with the .CA domain only.

I use craigslist daily I don't know anyone who uses Kijiji.
