Would be nice if Cira allowed you to click private on or private off on each domain.

whois privacy is not allowed for .CA. This will lead to deletion of your domain.

That is not correct. However, if you are not qualified to hold a .ca domain registration, you are not permitted to continue to hold a registration and it will be subject to deletion.

Private WHOIS does not reflect on your domain status, although a number of non-qualified registrations have been made using the privacy option, so some people may have assumed that the two aspects are connected when they are not.

I prefer privacy on...that way you get less spam from other domainers.

I keep it public - if someone wants to buy my domain they can at least contact me!
