a) 2nd and 3rd generation Canadians (ie, parents and/or grandparents came over 3-6 decades ago), which make up alot of Canadians, have more Scottish, Italian, Arab, etc blood in them than they do Canadian, which unless your native, your background is from somewhere outside North America.
b) I know alot of Scots, Ive been to the Scottish pubs here, seen the Highland games, etc and they are proud to be Canadian, but when it comes to women, food, language, and especially football, its Scotland > Canada everyday of the week, so your either lying about your relatives, or they represent a minority viewpoint.
c) "Soccer" doesn't exist in Canada. There is no Canadian football culture. Not because they're terrible, but because the people who support football in this country have ties to other nations 9 times out 10. Thats on top of the fact that "soccer" is ridiculed in this country, gets zero media attention, and little to no respect outside ethnic groups. There is a reason y Hargreaves chose England over Canada, and it wasn't only a career choice.
