David Cameron is listed as an American Canadian, and his name (in the infobox) links to David Cameron the former british Prime Minister, who as far as I can tell never lived in the USA or Canada. Is there some other David Cameron who actually is an American Canadian or should this be removed? |

Canada is in America. America is a continent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.5.242.50 (talk) 01:48, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- It is interesting to note that Canadians are perhaps the only Americans (from what they call "The Americas") that do no consider themselves Americans. And it does not matter whether it is a continent or not. America is the name of the whole landmass in the Western Hemisphere. North and South America are precisely the northern and southern parts of America. --38.117.98.164 (talk) 20:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
100,200,000 Americans moved to Canada in 2006? I think you should check that number. If it's correct, then Canada's population must be one hundred and thirty five million now. - signed by an anon IP
- More like a misnomer: an estimated 100 to 200,000 American expats and nationals migrated or moved into Canada that year. I expect a majority of them to return in the U.S. and some Americans with deep political dissident attitudes will stay in Canada. The numbers of Canadians of American ancestry is underestimated, probably 10-15% of the Canadian population has at least one US American ancestor. That would make the U.S. fifth place in the national origins of Canadians, behind Great Britain, France, Germany and Ireland. + 71.102.10.169 (talk) 21:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Why is this page categorized under Ethnic groups in Canada? American is a nationality, not an ethnicity. NorthernThunder (talk) 01:13, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Done You are absolutely right, I've removed that category.
It's extremely misleading to declare that the Dominion of Canada "Declared Independence" from the United Kingdom in 1867 - the process of independence was a very gradual one, commencing before 1867 and ending (arguably) in 1982. Any objections withstanding, this comment will be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaveW88 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
American-Canadian Logo
I made a simple but effective Public Domain Logo representing Canadians in America which I am allowing Wikipedia to use freely.
American(Can) (talk) 10:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- And what do you sugest it be used for? Beeblebrox (talk) 18:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- This logo and its existence as a "American-Canadian community logo" appears to be inherently original research when it appears in the main text of an article. I've removed it from the article. It might still continue to remain at Commons. --Closeapple (talk) 17:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
"exact estimate"?
Does the phrase "exact estimate" make any sense? If not, what'd be a suitable replacement? "Really good estimate"? A search of Wikipedia shows 18 instances of this phrase. Online, the only references addressing this declare it an oxymoron. What does everyone think? Ratmangxa (talk) 13:48, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Move request
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:58, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Canadians of American origin → American Canadian – More concise, and consistent with Canadian American or Brazilian Canadian (or the rest). Article was named this until April 2007, when it was moved, reverted, then explained as a "probable neologism". Vestigial remnants still start the article, in bold. Google shows it's used elsewhere today. --Relisted. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:43, 10 May 2014 (UTC) InedibleHulk (talk) 00:23, May 3, 2014 (UTC) 00:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Cautious support Red Slash 04:09, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support to give some consistency within article, and with other articles. --Rob (talk) 05:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
