Oh? How far away from Sydney did you live? I was from Maitland when I was a tyke. Weird, I grew up in a little village of about 100 people called Port Maitland lol And I think my old gym was the former mattress storage area for the furniture store down stairs

Viva la Canada!!! I thought most Canadians spoke French because about a quarter of them are French...?
A banana bender but not a Queenslander.

I think it`s like 70% speaks french but like 30% have it as their first language.
and 90% of the french speaking population is in a single province.
about 25% have french in their dna but the majority are mixed so probably 1% of canadians are pure french.

I'm hoping so too. All my favourite players are Queenslanders but it would be a shame if Origin died off due to domination.
Who thinks about pure blood these days? I'm sure most of them just think of themselves as Canadians.

It's complicated... but they should identify as Canadian but there is no consensus on what a Canadian really is.

Ah. Same issue as Australia then. We're oh so multicultural that claiming yourself to be of any group is taboo...at least it is for a white guy, everyone else is most welcome to want to live in Australia then form their own little groups once they get here.
