Are stock symbols unique between US and Canada?

Question

I am putting all the stock symbols in the database and would like to know if the symbols are unique between Amex/Nasdaq/NYSE/TSE (Toronto stock exchange)

Not across the international border. E.g. AC is Air Canada on the TSX and Associated Capital Group on the NYSE.

Stock symbols are issued by the exchange that the stock is listing on.
If a company is listed on multiple exchanges, their stock may or may not have the same symbol across those exchanges.
