Many people have dual citizenship between Canada and the U.S.

Are you sure of this? I know there are a number of dual citizen British-US citizens, but I wasn't aware that there was dual Canadian-US citizens, and I wasn't aware that this was possible. All my friends who have crossed the border have had to change their citizenship. But I don't know for sure. Do you?

All the blessings of the season to you also, Greg!

The "mystery" is cleared up, I believe, in that Solon is indeed a Canadian citizen. I have no problem with that, so long as it is acknowledged when one criticizes citizens of a neighboring country. I believe that to be common courtesy, which I would strictly observe if I were to scold the people of Canada for some reason.

However, I don't think I'm likely to do that. My thoughts of Canada are always as a staunch ally and partner of the United States. I love to visit our neighbor. Vancouver and Victoria are especially favorite places of mine. We were in Whistler not so long ago, and as usual were welcomed with great warmth and good cheer.

Have a great holiday!
