I was born in Calgary. I am as Albertan as they come. I do not consider myself Albertan. It is a label designed to indicate where I live. My culture, and my nationality is 100% Canadian.

We also went to War as British subjects, did that make us any less Canadian?
What about people who come to Canada from foreign lands (which is pretty much everyone), do they become Canadian, or do they and their progeny forever remain outposts of their own nationality? Again, why would this be any different with a new nation?
