Had to happen eventually... Canadian Health&Care Mall web site that's the WHOIS records indicate is actually hosted in... Canada!
I think you should treat whois as contact-information only. It has often little or nothing to do with network/server presence. Additionally, the country-field in an inetnum means the end users location, not necessarily the location of their servers. Regardless of that, and particularly with todays virtualization technology, it can be impossible to tell if a server or website is or was located in Canada or Russia at some point in time since it can be moved in realtime with a proper network setup between any country, datacenter and network.

Of course, it _is_ the part of Canada that was annexed by the Ukraine, so there's that.
