No, GE is not a Canadian company, it is an American company originally, now split into three American companies, with Canadian operations but not Canadian-owned. General Electric Company, known as GE, was founded in 1892 in Schenectady, New York, USA, through merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, later split in 2024 into three companies GE Aerospace headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, USA, GE Vernova headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and GE HealthCare headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA, all American companies, publicly traded in USA, American-owned by institutional investors like Vanguard and BlackRock, not Canadian-owned. GE Canada was Canadian subsidiary established in 1892, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, but it was subsidiary of American GE, not independent Canadian company. GE Appliances, appliance division, now owned by Haier Chinese company since 2016, is Chinese-owned, not Canadian, though sold in Canada. Canadian appliance companies include Inglis historically and others, but GE is American, not Canadian. So GE is not Canadian company, it is American company founded 1892 in USA, American-owned, with successor companies GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, GE HealthCare American-owned, and GE Appliances Chinese-owned by Haier, with operations in Canada but not Canadian-owned, headquartered in USA.
