My ten years or so at a Canadian company (Nortel) have left me convinced 
of the uselessness of keeping track of which companies are "US" 
companies and which are foreign.  As I recall, Nortel's "Corporate" HQ 
is in Canada but its "World" HQ is in the US (as is its US HQ, which is 
not in the same city).  At one point I believe Nortel had fewer 
employees in Canada than in the US.  (Now they have fewer employees 
*everywhere*.)  Nortel is publicly traded and many Americans own stock  
I do, for instance. (*sigh*)  The Canadian-ness of Nortel seemed to 
consist mostly of an occasional "Aye?" at the end of a sentence on a 
conference call and rather more interest in Hockey scores than one 
usually expects in these parts.
