My husband is not Canadian-born.  (Massachusetts born and bred.)  But he's a
"Canuck."  (So am I.)  A "Canuck" is a "French-Canadian-American."  This is
often a disparaging description here, though fellow-Canucks can refer to
themselves with this title without disparagement.go figure!  
 
And he does speak French, though he'd beg to differ that it's "perfect" and
I didn't say he spoke it perfectly (nor that he was Canadian-born).  
 
Michael, we love ya, but you do tend to skim and pick out "facts" from what
appeals to you, methinks.
 
And we get a good laugh out of the BenWAH/BenOYT
pronunciations/mispronunciations.
