The article is a crock, and bordering on insulting.

The basis of his argument is rot: I have never known a Canadian who claimed to be English. Lots will say that their great-grandparents came from England, but none lay claim to being English. Who did the author meet here that did that?

Likewise, I do not claim to be Scottish, but I do claim the ancestry and heritage. And on occassion, I choose to flaunt it.

Ah well, he got a rise out of me, so I suppose he was successful in whatever he was trying to do.
