If it answers for www.example.ca but not example.ca, then you haven't configured your zone for the latter:
www IN A 192.168.1.1 ; www.example.ca IN A 192.168.1.1 ; example.ca foo.bar IN A 192.168.1.1 ; foo.bar.example.ca
All the names on the left hand side are relative to the domain, including "nothing" which means the domain itself.

Thanks Sean. For some reason my server does respond to www.example.ca but not to example.ca
Of course the point is to learn how to configure DNS, and to start configuring this server for use on the web.
