Canada uses gc.ca for federal government sites, and I think every province gets their own, too, like .bc.ca (but I don't know if they all use them.)
I didn't know about Canada and after thinking about it for a minute the United States does something similar for the States with .gov. Many, if not all, States have their own subdomain such as wyo.gov, montana.gov, and nebraska.gov.
Honestly it's always seemed wrong and somewhat confusing that non-country specific TLDs, such as .gov, are dedicated to the United States.
