Welcome to FT, Slave2YUL.
It's not like AC is the first North American airline to buy/fly EMB's.
Besides, many outside of North America will argue that the birth of aviation actually happened in Brazil, not Ohio (let alone some NC'ers I've met that have argued that they are the birthplace of aviation!)
