Based on Mark's numbers, that means roughly twice as many Canadian teams go to CMP than would be a fair representation. Furthermore, Canada has 2 regionals of its own, and I believe there is one in the works out on the west coast (Vancouver-area) to be started in the next few seasons. For a market share of 3% to be controlling 4.16% of the regional events (counted from the list on frclinks.com, subtracting CMP divisions, and MI districts), we're doing alright.
Also, of the teams that have won 3 regionals in the same year, fully 50% of the times this has happened, it was a Canadian team, and a Canadian team holds both the record for being the only team in FRC to do this twice, and the only 3peat regional winner to also win Championship in the same year:
51 (ex 47/65) (1998)
1024 (2008)
1114 (2006, 2008)
1124 (2008)
1503 (2006)

67 in 2009? 3 District wins.. State Championship and Championship?
217 in 2009? 2 Districts wins.. State Championship and finalist at the championships (i believe they might have played somewhere else also)? (IE-if it wasnt for mechincal failure in the last match at GLR in 2008, they would have also won three regionals and CMP.
