It's working fine for me right now at https://www.canadacomputers.com/ ! Temporary outage or CMS platform upgrade where the Instagram was the downtime redirect maybe?
Make sure nothing's funky with your DNS as well or browser redirects.

same problem here , it has been like this for a week.
redirected to instagram/cc
I did a search , found some people said it's because your ip was banned by cc probably because your ip visited cc too many times.
and it make sense if you are using your company's vpn so there could be many people share the same ip and many of them visit cc so cc banned the vpn server's ip.
Same issue here , redirects to Instagram and I am a long time customer of theirs ...so I called their customer service and was given some lame explanation about some bots, graphic cards .??
No idea what she was talking about.I told the rep I don't visit your website 5000 times a day ( and BTW since when there is a limit on website visits ??) .
I used to go there once a week on Friday to check new specials ...whatever...F... EM ! if they don't want my business Amazon does...They will learn fast if enough people get pissed at them !
Same sh!t here. Started almost a month ago. First response from them on April 13,

Stupid thing in my case is I went from a vdsl connection to a cable connection and the redirects started a day or two later. Oh just for shits and giggles I can access the site no problem from my phone as long as it isn't connected to my home internet connection.
All I can say is that their "security department" are clueless morons.
You want to give them your money (buy from them ) and they make you jump trough the hoops , give them you IP address ..what else ...your SIN, passport to look at their website ...LOL
F...THEM !

Not really but they are the only place in Canada selling Be Quiet cases I can find. Just going to order it on my phone and then cancel my account.
Same behaviour for me, If I try to connect with NordVPN active, I get redirected to Instagram. If I disable the VPN, the page loads normally. Although on a different computer running Windscribe VPN, it fails to connect at all and I get a Windscribe error page even if the VPN is disabled. I love a security "solution" that requires contacting two different vendors for two different problems just to try to buy a product I could have bought from Amazon by now.

I'm trying to support local businesses and avoid Amazon wherever possible, besides, simply buying it from Amazon, especially now, would do nothing to let CC and Windscribe know there is a problem which could potentially cost them a customer. I've opened a ticket with Windscribe and will be contacting CC to let them know of the problem. Let's see what they come back with.
And CC is the only place in Canada that carries it. Can find it at a few US sites but it cost more with exchange (and before shipping) than what CC is charging.
As I said previously, will place the order on my phone and cancel my account with them.

Pretty sure mikes computer and memory express had them. But haven’t checked recently.
