Canadian= a citizen of the country of Canada.  My dad's a Canadian immigrant, but I'm 100% full-red-blooded American.  If you are born in Canada- you're a citizen.  If you legally immigrate there and become a citizen, you're Canadian.

You make that question sound like as if Canada is an issolated country. Ok, if you have a child in Canada, it will be a Canadian citizen, but if you were to move back in to the U.S it wouldn't be a problem I assume. Yes, you can have dual citizenship here, and as for American T.V....what else is there? It's all Americanized here too. That's what digital cable is for. No you won't have to listen to Canadian artists (they suck). Whether you like it in Canada or not, is totally up to you, that's something you'll have to decide when you've been there for a while...I'll tell you though, it's cold as f**k here, in the winter of course, summers are exceptional.

I am Canadian. We don't have States of Mind. We have *Provinces* of Mind. And, as i am currently watching a hockey game, i am in a very *Canadian* Province of Mind. Eh?

I'm glad that someone else has realized this.  It's probably for being first a colony dependent upon Great Britain and then even though nominally independent, having to live beside the US.\n\nCanada is SO politically correct that the Supreme court has just authorized 8-0 the wearing of a Kirpan, a ceremonial sword by elementary and high school students.  Canada is so scared of injurying the sensibilities of its large immigrant population that anything goes.  Pretty well any religious practice is accepted in Canada despite secular beliefs.  Another example in Polygamy for a Mormon offshoot in Boutiful BC.  Canadians don't want to insult anyone not white or coming from a country other than Canada or Western Europe.\n\nAny complaint by any white Canadian is quickly shut down by screams of "Racism!!!"

the suffix "ian" is often used to create an adjective to describe a group or dervied from a proper noun.\n\nIran--Iranian\nChrist--Christian\nguard--Guardian\nJung--Jungian\nHungary--Hungarian\nplebe--plebian\nMars-martian\nAthens--Athenian\nGlasgow--Glaswegian\n\n\nSo Although there's no readily explainable reason WHY we say Canadian instead of Canadan, there are enough other examples to show that it is a far from anomalous label.

We love Canada. It is like that nice cousin you have in another city. He is great to visit, he is always pleasant and never bothers anyone and if a maniac republican takes over your country, you can go stay with him for a while.

Canada is a country occupying the northern portion of North America, and is the world's second largest country in total area.\n\nOriginally inhabited exclusively by aboriginal peoples, Canada was founded as a union of British colonies, some of which had earlier been French colonies. A federal dominion of ten provinces with three territories, Canada peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom, in a process beginning in 1867 with its formation and ending in 1982 when Canada gained the authority to amend its own constitution.\n\nCanada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. Canada's head of state is its monarch, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General. The head of government is the Prime Minister.\n\nCanada defines itself as a bilingual and multicultural nation. Both English and French are official languages. In the early 1970s, Canada began to adopt policies based on the concepts of cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Many Canadians now view this as one of the country's key attributes.\n\nA technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada is a net exporter of energy because of its large fossil fuel deposits, nuclear energy generation, and hydroelectric power capacity. Its diversified economy relies heavily on an abundance of natural resources and trade, particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship, one which can be described as the strongest trade partnership in history.\n\nCapital Ottawa\n45°24′ N 75°40′ W \nLargest city Toronto \nOfficial language(s) English and French \nGovernment \n\n\nPopulation 32.4 million (37th)

If you are a "legal US immigrant" then you are not yet a US citizen, right?  Until you have US citizenship, your travel to Canada is governed by the agreements between Canada and your own country.  If natives of your country need visas to visit Canada, so do you despite your Green Card.

Canada location is north of the United States of America and is actually a land of vast distances and certainly rich natural resources, although Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while totally retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the well  like US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. \n\nCanada size in population is about 33 million inhabitants that occupies the northern portion of the North American continent, and is the world's second largest country in area. Inhabited for millennia by First Nations (Aboriginal peoples), Canada has evolved from a group of European colonies into a bilingual (English and French), multicultural, federation, having peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom. France sent the first large group of settlers in the 17th century, but Canada came to be dominated by the British until the country attained independence in the 20th century. English-speakers make up a majority of Canadians with a significant French-speaking minority concentrated in Quebec and neighboring regions. Substantial immigrant communities have also formed.\n\nCanada's paramount political problem is completely meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; while in favour for separatism seems abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Depends -- I do love the mosaic of people who make up the population of countries like the USA & Canada.  I don't like it when they bring their problems here or define themselves entirely by their departed country.  My parents become Canadians when they left thier country to come here and didn't define themselves according to the country they no longer wished to live in.  Seems that some just come here for whatever they can get out of it without showing any allegience to their new home.\n\n(& yea, your link doesn't work, so my answer might be a little more general than what you were looking for)

I've never felt Canadians by and large had this attitude. But it is a fairly liberal country. That doesn't mean liberalism is bad, but some liberals, and I prefer to be called liberal, are very arrogant and think others are barbarians in comparison to them. That is my honest observation.
