>>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).

I knew that - I'm "francophonic" and have visisted Quebec twice

Nice people those quebecois and albertans! The idea of a Canadian getting violent at all is weird. I thought you all had your hyperthalamuses removed in infancy or something.

Come over here and I'll have you beaten up for being Mike the Canuck.
