I am interested in finding out about AI research going on in Canada.  The
large US companies that have "branch" offices in Canada tend to have their
research done in the US (ie IBM).  Bell Northern Research does research in
Canada (their headquarters are in Ottawa).  Canadian universities have
some people doing AI work.  What other companies are doing AI type work?
