If your a Canadian, your probably refer yourself to as a hyphenated Canadian.

I don't. The first branch of my family to come here was in the 1640s. The last one came shortly before WW1. I have ancestors who came from France, Ireland, the UK, Sweden, Germany, the US (my English ancestors left during the revolution) and I have some native ancestry as well. Id have a hell of a lot of hyphens to count all of that. Better to just call myself Canadian as I havent even been to most of those countries and dont really feel any connection to them.

Don't be silly. You're a part of the Commonwealth. Canada is more closely linked to the UK than it is to the US.

Being in the commonwealth does not make one a part of the UK. Uganda, Rwanda and Pakistan are also in the commonwealth. They most certainly are not a part of the UK. I also wasnt arguing that we are a part of the US. We trade and have connections to both, but we are independent of both as well.

So you have the same Head of State as we do. Your governmental system is identical to ours, not America's. Your military is modelled on Britain's, not America's. You are run by a PM rather than a President. You spell English words correctly. You are part of the Commonwealth. You probably have more family ties to the Uk than you do to the US. And yet you are more close to the US than to the UK?


Yep. I dont really feel any connection to the UK. I more than likely do have family there but because my English ancestors left there over 200 years ago those family members are very distant and are pretty much strangers to me.

Even with all of the above it does not make us a part of the UK. Not anymore.

I've travelled extensively in the USA and for the most part it's much like travelling to different parts of Canada. In practical terms, Canadians have much more affinity to Americans than to Brits. You probably won't understand that either.

Agreed. Whenever I have gone to the states Ive found it very easy to forget the fact that I was in another country. I havent been to the UK, but I suspect that would not be true there.

Considering that 21% of Canadians are of English heritage, 15.1% are of Scottish heritage and 13.9% are of Irish heritage and that Canadians have stronger family links to the UK than to the US I would say there is more of an affinity with the UK than the US in Canada. The British are Canada's largest ethnic group.

.

Doesnt mean much when you are several centuries removed from those immigrants. Not everyone is, but I am.

Canada is a part of the United Kingdom said:
Canada has never been a "part of Great Britain". It was a Colony of Great Britain, as was what became the USA, New Zealand, India, and about 1/3 of the whole globe.

The peoples of those colonies all enjoyed "British Subject" status, as did all Canadians until 1983, when Great Britain changed their citizenship laws, excluding all of those peoples that came from former colonies.

Canada became an Independent country in 1947, when it declared its own citizenship, separate from that of a British Subject".

It made the final step, when it repatriated its constitution.

At no time in its entire history was Canada EVER a part of Great Britain.

Had the American Colonies been a part of Great Britain, with all of the rights of "Englishmen", they would not have broken away at least not in the 18th century.

Sod buster is just a hobby. I'm my spare time I plot various ways to take over the world.
Silly thing. Better idea is to ally with someone with the same idea. Marvin and I have been working together for decades and we are winning. And he supplies the disintegrator cannon (it's cardboard, BTW) and acted out the rants as a distraction. He supplies the visible stuff and all I do is provide mis- and disinformation.
Reminds me; who shot Kennedy? K-9 did, of course. That kid is a genius.

I was not aware that Canadians were still referred to as British Subjects from 1947 til the Repatriation of the constitution. Isnt it a bit redundant to be both citizenship and subject status?

lol talking about Pamela Anderson are we??

What is it about Canadian women that makes them so hot to trot?

I'm an elite. Aren't you?

I agree you are elite. But I'm too caught up in old man syndrome to know what I am. :)

Don't be silly. You're a part of the Commonwealth. Canada is more closely linked to the UK than it is to the US.

The connections between Britain and Canada are historical and are now bloodless. The connections between America and Canada are living and breathing the way they are among real family members. My closest relatives are Canadian, not American. Damn few Brits love Canada the way I do.
