PCF's website does not allow the selection of anything outside the continental United States when attempting to determine "Distribution Service Area." To me, this means, they are unaware that they even service Canadian customers. (However loosely you want to define "service.) Thus, I believe the entire message was a typo. It should have read: Thank you for your communication with The New York Times. In response to your email, we realize you live in Canada. I would certainly apologize for any inconvenience and throw you some bone promising better assistance with your questions and concerns, but again, you live in Canada. So, please go fuck yourself, and once again thank you for contacting the New York Times. I would wish you a great day, but you live in Canada, so there is no chance of that.
