Who are the Canadian orgers?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed already. I found nothing with the search function, so I thought I'd go ahead and ask.

I am constantly surprised by the number of Canadians that turn up on the org. Perhaps I underestimate the breadth of my own country...?

I have really enjoyed getting to know and seeing the varying perspectives of all the orgers from around the world. You're all fantastic! <3 But, just out of curiosity, who are the Canadian orgers here and where are you from?

i would guess around 30 of us... some active and some not so active.
out west it's kind of sparse... two in MB, two of us in SK, three or so in AB and a few more in BC. most are in the east. if you are in toronto you should check out this thread... prince party tonight for the book release. http://prince.org/msg/2/281499

and where are you from? wave

I'm from Niagara Falls, Emm. Thanks for asking.

Efan, thanks for the reminder, but can "Canadian" be classified as an ethnicity? Haha. lol

Oh, I was just being a smartass; hence the smiley face. And that thread seems to also be about asking "Where are you from?" so it fits that way.

But hell, since you asked, why can't Canadian be considered an ethnicity? That term is used a lot of different ways--native country, race, religion, etc.

Becuase unless you've got Native blood, (or -and this is one hell of a leap -Viking! razz ) you're not Canadian ethnically. End of story.

I'm graduating this year. I've been going to school year round though to speed up the process, so technically I've only been at Brock 1 1/2 at this point. Crazy, eh? Graduating in 2 years? What's wrong with me?! Lol

I guess I mean possessing Canadian citizenship...? Either through having been born in Canada or immigrating to Canada.

If you identify yourself as "Canadian" in some other way, that's odd and also cool. Why do you ask?

Out of the blue and odd sentiment, but completely valid if that's how you feel. shrug I'm sorry you feel that way, hon. Care to elaborate? I apologize on behalf of Canada if we've offended you. Lol.

That's fantastic! I'm glad that you're embracing Canada. I've visited many terrific places in the United States and am always happy to see love and respect flow across the 49th parallel.
