What is a Canadian?

I found this. It's pretty accurate. I just had to...
Australian definition of a Canadian...
Once in a while someone does a nice job of describing a Canadian, this time it was an Australian dentist.
You probably missed it in the local news, but there was a report that someone in Pakistan had advertised in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed a Canadian - any Canadian.
An Australian dentist wrote the following editorial to help define what a Canadian is, so they would know one when they found one.
So the following is an Australian Definition of a Canadian. In case anyone asks you who a Canadian is ??
A Canadian can be English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek.
A Canadian can be Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan.
A Canadian may also be a Cree, Metis, Mohawk, Blackfoot, Sioux, or one of the many other tribes known as native Canadians.
A Canadian's religious beliefs range from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or none. In fact, there are more Muslims in Canada than in Afghanistan.
The key difference is that in Canada they are free to worship as each of them chooses. Whether they have a religion or no religion, each Canadian ultimately answers only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
A Canadian lives in one of the most prosperous lands in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which recognize the right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
A Canadian is generous and Canadians have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
Canadians welcome the best of everything, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services and the best minds.
But they also welcome the least - the oppressed, the outcast and the rejected. These are the people who built Canada.
You can try to kill a Canadian if you must as other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world have tried but in doing so you could just be killing a relative or a neighbour. This is because Canadians are not a particular people from a particular place.
They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, can be a Canadian.

No point in burning someone at the stake in Canada, it would just warm them up. Better off imprisoning them in a snow fort or some kind of fortified igloo.

If Canadians are cold Americans then why has it been really quite mild here with very little snow and down further south they're cold and shovelling snow?

I hear it gets so cold up there at times that flames freeze. Any truth to this?

The only claim to a distinct, Canadian identity is "not American".

A Canadian is an Englishman who feels the need to kiss a Frenchman's ass.
