<p>^ Well, in general, Canadians aren’t very flag-waving types. I have several good friends who are Canadian. Several years ago while partying at a professional conference with them and a group of other Canadians who didn’t know me very well, they let down their usual reserve enough to sing “O, Canada” in front of me, a mere American. My best friend among them later told me that was quite unusual for them to do that, especially with a Yank in the room. That night, I almost felt like an honorary Canadian. I don’t know if that’s generally true of Canadians, but it’s consistent with my experience with that particular group.</p>
