I've seen this before. Always funny. And very true.

actually, Jim Carry WAS Canadian... he's applied for US citizenship (personally I wish he'd STAY in Canada[or maybe move to Iraq]) he does nothing worth calling entertainment... but that's JMHO

Tonichelle:

And so was Neil Young and Michael J. Fox and many other Canadian actors and entertainers who now live in the US. I consider them disloyal to Canada - where they got their start.

Disloyal? Most actors cannot make a living in Canada. Moving becomes a necessity

Can't people hold dual citizenship?

The US doesn't like the idea of dual citizenship. Ya wanna be a US citizen, ya gotta renounce any other citizenship. So, what about Canada? Can a Canadian born citizen become a US citizen without Canada saying they're no longer Canadian???

Not such a silly question: how about Tanith Belbin (or even Fedor Andreev)? If Tanith becomes a US citizen to compete for the US in the Olympics, does that mean she is no longer Canadian? And what about her boyfriend Fedor? If he actually decided to compete in pairs with Jenny Kirk, would he need to become a US citizen? As I recall, he wasn't born in Canada. Does that make this whole thing more interesting, or what??? And if Fedor and Jenny DID decide to compete in pairs, which country would they compete for? Both compete in singles. For different countries.

As we have seen with Julia Soldotova, changing the country you compete for is complicated. Kinda like changing the college you play for under NCAA rules. Doesn't she have to sit out a certain period of time before she is eligible to compete for Russia again? Obviously, the rules for competing IN Russia are different from international rules. How would the US and/or Canada handle a Fedor/Jenny team?

Come to think of it, is the "citizen" rule a US Olympic Committee rule or an IOC rule? I never really thought of that before, but it is an interesting question. Consider Anton Sik. and Elena Ber. Didn't she represent Lithuania or Latvia with her former partner? Maybe the political situation for athletes in the former Soviet Union has much different rules.

What a can of worms this line of thought opens!!!

JOHIO2:

You can say that again!!!

Anne Murray made it big in the singing world and she is still a Canuck and so is Brian Adams. Many of our entertainers stay here and do well - they are popular in other countries. The US is not the only entertainment drawing card in the world.

Hehe. I liked that forward lots. It's cute.
