There have been plenty of successes, although they have mostly been swallowed by multinationals. Many, however, still maintain a physical presence in Canada: Cognos (IBM), Changepoint (Compuware), Workbrain (Infor), Flickr (Yahoo!), Dundas (Microsoft), Opalis (Microsoft), Kobo (Rakuten), Alias (Autodesk)... etc, etc. And then there's also the likes of 500px, Cirba, etc.
