As a matter of fact <spoiler alert> your thought about communications being a "theme" among Canada's marquee brands is something I'm going to blog about this week, As for the Swiss needing to maintain their position in order for my numbers to make sense, absolutely! That's the added bonus of Canada getting more global brands on the list: every one knocks another country's entry off - most likely a US or G8 brand. Kaitlin,

Good points all.

As for the Swiss needing to maintain their position in order for my numbers to make sense, absolutely! That’s the added bonus of Canada getting more global brands on the list: every one knocks another country’s entry off – most likely a US or G8 brand.
