as they wrote, he moved there when he was 11...he's been raised, educated, trained his entire life in Canada...how do people not consider him fully Canadian?

 

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...

I'm just saying that nationality and citizenship are two different things. That's all. But I can see a difference between Ahmed and for example Guliyev.

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.

 

So my grandparents weren't Canadian?  Like I said, Canada is a nation of immigrants.  Don't tell me what my country is and isn't, and who is part of it and who isn't.
