Actually I am only half Canadian, but I have dual citizenship because in 2009 Canada changed its immigration law to include first generation born outside Canada to Canadian citizens. My father was a Canadian citizen at the time of my birth in the U.S. Whee!

I have wanted to visit the Maritime provinces, even tho that's not where my father's family lived -- they emigrated to Canada from Connecticut in the late 1700s and lived in Ontario and Saskatchewan, mostly.

Newfoundlanders are reportedly the salt of the earth -- wonderful people.
