That is a US-Canadian thing I guess.

If I want anything to change in the UK then I want the Treason law brought back, only abolised under the last Conservative Government, whilst they slashed the Armed Forces, after the Falklands war.

It would be the perfect charge.

I was looking on Snopes to dispel (or confirm ) the myth that Britain would be speaking German if it wasn't for the Americans saving their asses. Seems they have overlooked it.

OK, since you're from Canada try this: go out and ask 100 people if they're Americans, then ask them what city and province or state they're from. I'll bet you that not one Canadian spontaneously claims himself to be an American.

Isn't Heston talking about something a bit different from nationality?

Yeah, what he really means is that he's sick and tired with all this mamby-pamby molly coddling of the minority groups whining about stereotypes an all that and what they really need is a good cavalry charge just like in the good old days.

You are aware that the terms Amerindian, Native American, American Indian, etc. are widely used to describe people of certain ethnicities in Canada as well as the US, aren't you?

A supposed Canuck who said that he or she is also an native American might be speaking of a claim to belonging on this continent just as much as anybody else and might not be saying anything about citizenship of one state or the other.

Not according to this web site.

Yes, but they saved you from speaking French, so I'd say you're even.
