Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: Foreign currency forward contracts Since October 2012, the Company has employed a hedging program with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on its future cash flows related to a portion of payroll, taxes, rent and payments to Canadian domain name registry suppliers that are denominated in Canadian dollars and are expected to be paid by its Canadian operating subsidiary. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the foreign exchange risk associated with these costs. The Company does not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and eighteen months. In May 2020, the Company entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential interest rate fluctuations incurred on its future cash flows related to variable interest payments on the Credit facility. The notional value of the interest rate swap was $70 million. The Company does not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The contract is coterminous with the Credit facility, maturing in June 2023. The Company has designated certain of these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815. For certain contracts, as the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, the Company has been able to conclude that changes in fair value and cash flows attributable to the risk of being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is recorded as derivative instrument assets or liabilities. For certain contracts where the hedged transactions are no longer probable to occur, the loss on the associated forward contract is recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2020, the notional amount of forward contracts that the Company held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was$31.8 million, of which$26.8 million met the requirements of ASC Topic 815 and were designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2019 the notional amount of forward contracts that the Company held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $30.5 million, of which $26.1 million met the requirements of ASC Topic 815 and were designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2020, we had the following outstanding forward contracts to trade U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars:
