Google Thinks Im in Canada!

    I work for a Southern California company. I use Google to check my Adwords ads. Now for some reason Google thinks Im searching from a location in Canada. I did not change these settings and my IT guy says he did not either. What happened? And how do I fix this?

    Maybe the website is hosted on a Canadian server?

    So heres the deal. My company uses Roadrunner as our ISP. Well Roadrunner bought a giant bulk of IP's off the US Government...and of course those GOV IP's were from Canada...and they have not fully ported over yet...so yes I do have a CAnadian IP eh!
