Sorry Tina have to disagree with you on this , think most Canadians I've come across have the distinct traits which idenify them as Canadians , ( most of them were born there, 2nd generation) , so they don't carry any "nostalgic baggage" like their immigrant parents,
Hope Eric comes across this thread , he's an ex Accy/Clayton guy who also lives in Canada and from reading his posts on Accy web I don't think there anyone is of a more Canadian mindset than him
Something which gets my goat both in Canada , Australia and other places where UK immigrants tend to gather is how they complain about "Coronation st" being 6 months or more behind the UK or how they can't find Birds Custard powder ...... sorry folks , you left the UK , adapt live like the locals
