Yes, it is possible. If only for a little while. Try Google 2001".
Just for kicks, I search the War of 1812. Here is what Google 2001 gave me. Not entirely surprising, it's mostly American sources that appear on the first page. In order to find an obviously Canadian source, you have to go to the second page. And out of the 232,000 results, how many of those present a Canadian perspective? What was a Canadian Historian to do? Wait until 2008, and use Google Canada and get 3,010,000 results with most web pages on the first page ending in .ca. [Note that Wikipedia gets the number one position].
Google may achieve world domination but at least they are starting to acknowledge the importance of Canadian websites and that the most important and pertinent information isn't found in a web page that ends in .com.
