Recently (within the past few months) the positions were close (1st for .ca and like 2nd, 3rd for .com) which made it very easy to get them confused. Its a real downer when you get all excited seeing your title at #1\2 and then you glance up to the old address bar and realize that you have dooped yourself. Ah, well. Back to the SEOing board :) I was experiencing exactly the same thing. b e e r k o o z i e s dot com ranked 1st on the .ca long before it made the first page for .com.

I didn't really notice the redirection until some of the sites I monitor started getting unreal rankings. It didn't take me too long to see that those favourable SERPS were being generated from google.ca instead of .com, and those sites are mostly hosted in Canada hence the excellent positioning. Back over on the .com SERPS, the rankings are not quite as dreamy. Glad you found it useful! I didn't really notice the redirection until some of the sites I monitor started getting unreal rankings.
