I would say that 9*% are owned by Dominicans but leased to foreigners. In the early 80's most were operated by French Canadians however over the years leases were taken over by Germans, Italians etc. I'm sure there are others, but the only one that comes to mind, Canadian owned and operated by the same person since 1983/4 is Eddy's.
