I couldnt care less what either of them have to say on the matter.
I was thinking about similar sentiment when it comes to some celebrities who were born in Canada and maintain ties but can they really be thought of as Canadian. I definitely don't follow celebrities very closely so I don't always know if some of the Canadians actually spend time in Canada. For me it was spurred on by the SNL 50th and how it is frequently brought up that Lorne is Canadian but is he really at this point?
