DNS hijacking?

Hello folks,

In the last few days it seems that Shaw has started hijacking DNS requests in the Vancouver region. If one directs a DNS query to a specific (non-Shaw) nameserver, the query never makes it to the specified server. Instead, the specified server records query from a Shaw nameserver.

This is of course a really bad idea for a lot of reasons, so I'm wondering why Shaw is choosing to do this. Does anyone have any insight? 

Thank you!

Jan
