Yes, interesting.
Especially considering that Procter & Gamble, are the same people who "de-emphasised" the image used in their "trademark" Mr. Clean hosehold cleanser.
Even more so for an understanding of who their principle shareholder is - The Christian Broadcast Network (through sundry affiliated holdings) - and for their being responsible for a recent "media" travesty in Toronto whereby advertizing revenues were withheld from both Radio and TV stations until their owner's editorial boards began slanting their news story concerning the "Maple Leaf Gardens" sex scandal to one more favourable to the Christian Broadcast Network's agenda - this being the "slamming home a common theme" that it was a 50-old year old man "diddling" late-teenaged boys having them exchange sexual favours in return for hockey- and concert-tickets.
This so inflamed, and outraged, the national population that the trial became a media circus.
The truth of course was only ever repeated on the CBC Stations (Government owned) - this being of course that the man charged was himself in his late-teens, and early-twenties during the time-period being tried.
This dissemination of propaganda was successful because Procter & Gamble, and a sister Company (also controlled by the Crhistian Broadcast Network) - Cocac Cola - together contribute to almost all of every 3-minute commercial break during the prime-time hours on both the American, and Canadian Television Networks.
IBM, doesn't surprise me, as it must comply with Canadian "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" provisions under our Constitution; especially allowing that, it never was, and to this day remains not an American-owned Corporation; and therefore regardless of it's venue of operation must comply with our Laws, even ex-territorially, as do other such as Nortel, Four Seasons Group, Seagams Distillers Corp, AOL/Time-Warner, just to name a few.
The World Headquarters for IBM were returned to Canada in the late 1980's, when their "IBM World Trade Corp." holding Corporation (the major shareholder in all IBM subsidiaries) returned to the north of Toronto (in Markham, Ontario) after nearly 4-decades of residing in Armok, N.J. For those interested, IBM was founded by the eldest son of the then Chairman of the Bank of Montréal. He didn't like being paid with currency bearing his father's image, and decided to stike out on his own, moving to the United States in the very early 1920's to raise capital, and of course as they say "the rest is history".
I could provide a foot-note about one or two of the other as well, but thought those Imention about to be of the most interest.
