Why does Google think I am in Canada?

Everytime I open up Firefox I get Google Canada (google.ca). Would be fine if I were based in Canada, but I am not and I don't really want primarily Canadian links in my search results. My homepage is set to Google.com. I have set my location with Windows - so it knows I am in the US in a certain zip code. But Google keeps insisting I am in Canada. Any ideas of why this would be?

Probably using your IP Address or Wi-Fi geolocation data if you are wireless.

Where does this webpage say you are located?
http://whatismyipaddress.com/

That website seems to be running slow right now.

That website indicates I am in Ontario Canada. I have no idea why it would. I am based in California, working for a California company. Is there any way to change it?
