Shouldn't this be merged with the "Category:Canadian Americans?"

No. American Canadians are Americans living in Canada and Canadian Americans are Canadians living in the US to generalize. People like Matthew Perry are both, because he was born in the US, grew up in Canada but now lives in the US. --

Do we really need this category? I know that Americans like to hyphenate themselves but this is category is about Canadians. NorthernThunder 22:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article is needed. See Category:Canadian people by ethnic or national origin to see how this relates to its sister articles on Canadian people. Thanks Hmains 03:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My issue is that we Canadians do not hyphenate people. NorthernThunder 03:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we do. What are you talking about? --

That's news to me. I never heard any kind of hyphenated name reference on Canadian television. I seriously hope this does not become a part of Canadian culture. NorthernThunder 16:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You've never heard of the term "French Canadian" ? --

Yes I have, of course, but that is different from being a hyphenated American. NorthernThunder 17:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um not exactly. They are Canadians of French descent or are from France. Similarily, these are Canadians from the United States. Canada also has Italian Canadians, Chinese Canadians and Japanese Canadians just to name a few. --

I just have not heard of any hyphenization term used in Canada. Never on television and never from anyone I speak to. The only time I ever hear such things is on American television. NorthernThunder 15:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should United Empire Loyalists be included? 76.65.31.70 (talk) 05:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
