Yep, the entire concept of a country HQ is pretty outdated. It's from an era of non-instant communication when other countries were run as separate operations and needed their own leadership. These days even within a team it's not uncommon to have half the people in California and half the people in KW, operating as a single integrated team.
Google HQ is in Mountain View, and beyond that offices are offices. Google has senior leaders spread across various offices, including some here in KW. The Toronto office's status as "Canada HQ" just means that's the official mailing address, KW is a much more significant office than Toronto internally at Google.
