We are a nation of immigrants, including my family. The topic is done. To be honest he is not. You're Canadian, he is Somalian with Canadian passport. But he was raised in Canada and probably training in Canada so he's "fruit from your garden" and that's fine with me. bestmen and Monzanator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two world class kenyan runners who weren't here, because they want to compete for Kazakhstan in the future, so maybe in the near future all women in the top 10 will be from kenya competing for different nations. Möller might even be the best bet for a white woman to win a medal in Tokyo next year. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

OK, his blood is not from there...probably his heart's still bleeding because he had to leave his native Land, but he must be considered Canadian at 100% in any case...

Luckily she has enough pride to not switch nationalities for money. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
