An interesting experiment would be for you to try being either a
Canadian-Ontarion or God Forbid maybe just a Canadian.

I really feel sorry for all of you our their that feel your only
security if hyphenation.....and you can take the all the crap about how
important it is to respect your heritage, maintain your culture, etc.
etc. etc.

You can do all these things while still standing up straight, like a
human being, and shouting proudly I AM A CANADIAN.
