I can think of several famous Canadians, such as David Lyon (Queens) and 
Steve Mann (Toronto) A few have even heard of me.

In Italy:  Leopoldina Fortunati (Udine)

In Israel: Gustavo Mesch, Sheizaf Rafaeli, Ilan Talmud - all at Haifa
(hope this isn't a British server, or else it may boycott)

In Japan, Kakuko Miyata

In UK: Bill Dutton (American until 10 years ago), Bernie Hogan -- both at 
OII (but Bernie is a Canadian -- or even better, a Newfie)

And then there is the special case of Manuel Castells, Spanish raised, 
became famous in France, became internet involved in US, and now cycles 
between US and Catalonia

Apologies, if I have forgotten some of my best friends' names.
