Sorry, Pet peeve of mine no matter where they are from.
I'm not re-watching the clip so I don't know if I'm misunderstanding your transcription, but why would this bother you?

He asked her background, she responded with precisely that. He didn't ask her what she identifies herself as or what her nationality is... did he?

I'd be surprised if most Canadians don't identify their background as per their non-Canadian ancestors. Doesn't make them any less patriotic or committed to Canada.
