>I was watching my favourite intellectual quiz show last week: "QI", and one of the questions was "What is the nationality of a person from the USA?". I kinda missed the answers. Now a lot of them would say "American" but that essentially refers to the continent; a Canadian could equally call himself "American" (as indeed could a Mexican, Bolivian or Chilean - "North" or "South" aren't included).

>So what is the nationality?

I can not answer that anymore.

"Nation" is becoming blurry here in Canada to me at least. Now the people from the province of Quebec are calling themselves a Nation. Oddly enough, even if you're a Canadian Aboriginal, I suppose Native American would still apply?

IAC, if you're born in Quebec of French descent, you're now Canadian and part of the Quebecois Nation - although I suppose "they" want to discriminate against anglophone native (born there, not aboriginal) expatriated Quebecers (like me), since I'm not of French background. I wonder how they plan to include French descent non native Quebecers, say one born in Alberta as Quebecois (pronounced keh bec wah, fyi)

As a child, I was beaten up in Quebec for sounding/being English and then beaten up in Alberta for sounding/being French. I guess the "great thinkers" need to be beaten up a little. It changes ones' perspective.
