So I connect to Google here at the Montreal IETF. Only I don't get Google, I get Google Canada.
This probably seemed like a good idea to the Google people, customize Google for every locale, use IP address lookup to determine the locale.
The net result is that when I type www.google.com I get redirected to Google Canada rather than get my own personalized home page with the news, email etc resources I have selected. And when I click on 'Presonalized Home' I get directed to the Canadian silo not my own personalized home page.

Interestingly if you choose Google Home Page from within the Google Toolbar then it does not appear to default to the locale
