[CentOS-mirror] Mirror: centos-canada.vdssunucu.com.tr listed as Canadian mirror

I'm also in Canada.

The IP addr seems to be OVH Canada, but OVH has really terrible reverse 
lookups, they drop the TLD, so there's no ovh.net or similar.

I can't currently ping the mirror server (ICMP echo request) but i do 
get a reply to HTTP, so good enough, i guess.

I'd like the mirror admin to respond to ICMP echo requests, however, 
it's helpful to users.

Cheers,
Jonathan
