Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Uhm, Plei, is your legal last name the one you go by and the one you would prefer to see on an envelope addressed to you, rather than the name you use here?
I use either socially. Everyone else in the house is a Marcontell, so it'd be weird if I didn't. Mostly, I just hate paperwork.

I think what JohnSweden is trying to say is that Canadians self-identify in a way that the last box they are going to check in a list of ethnicities is American, even if it's intended to mean North American. Most of our identity comes from how we are not like Americans.
All you former Nova Scotians come on down!
(I am a very typical mix of French, Irish, and little bit of Mi'kmaq.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait, so Gud was being serious? I thought he was being as flip as I was. In fact, I was going to add on Mexicans to his suggestion.

Ah, thanks, Sue. If I'm having an even more incoherent than usual day today, that explains much about work. I resorted to Red Bull, at one point. I should perhaps consider sleep tonight.

Canadian breakdowns by number
Caribbean origins: 305,290
Are Jamaican folks reporting elsehow, because this number doesn't seem to account for, like, Toronto.

Well, there's probably about six people of Carribean origin in NS, so I'd say they're mostly in Ont and Que. I thought all the Asian numbers looked low, too.

My understanding is that Toronto accounts for 1/2 to 2/3 of that total, John.

I guess that's about right, but from the amount of windie folk I know, it feels like too small a number.
