The problem with this is that Canada requires that
holders of .ca
domains be Canadians. The only apparent exception for WMF would depend
on having the exact name registered in a trademark in Canada. See

I don't think I was clear enough. I didn't mean to give the domain to
the Foundation. I believe you own the domain. If you're ready to point
the dns to the Wikimedia DNS, then the Foundation can host the wiki
for the time being, ie. when someone types wikimedia.ca, it will end
up on a wiki hosted on Wikimedia Foundation servers. In the longer
run, Wikimedia Canada should find their own hosting provider. That's
all.
