What does it mean to be Canadian?

Canada is one dimensional in this respect, having no others on your border. Even the Maritimes were marginalized. A stepchild of Great Britain who gladly traded parts of Canada in treaties with America to garner support. The Americans have a more diverse experience in their development, and clearly distilled an identity that stands on its own. In other words, Canada had no Mexico, no Hawaii, no Philippines, etc., only the Americans.

We have France and Greenland. And Russia. Norway too.

Well not on mainland USA, but yes, they are in Alaska. The rest are in zoos.

Alaska is part of the mainland USA, otherwise referred to as the continental United States. Alaska is not part of the contiguous United States, but it is part of the mainland USA; therefore we do have Polar Bears on mainland USA.

...back to Americans again....no definition without it.

That was in reply to this post:

When you don't know where to go in Canada to get money, you go to the USA.

So maybe the truth is that it's YOU who can't "define" anyone else without mentioning Americans.
