Molson makes a beer called Molson Canadian, and its probably one of the more popular beers in Canada (you'll find it on tap at almost every bar or restaurant in Edmonton, where I live). Most companies like to own all of the possible website/URL rights (for good reason)to all of the sites that match the names of their products. That is probably why they were awarded the site name.
