No. The Canadian federal government gave 10% of what the US provided, due population ratio this works out to the same per capita contribution. However, since GM doesn't really do anything outside of Ontario, the province matched the federal 10%. Considering the fact that Ontario has only around 11 million residents, this was a very large per capita contribution. After Ottawa and Toronto get their share of this money, GM will still owe nearly $1B to Canadians, split evenly between Ontario and everyone (including Ontario, again)
