General motors is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, USA. They have many different divisions all over the world specific to each country. During the 2009 bail out of General Motors Canada had purchased 3.5 billion dollars in shares of the company as a bail out plan but it has since been paid back in full to the Canadian government.
