No offence taken. Canadians are scrupulously polite and apologetic, even when we are supposed to be offended. Nice of the handlers to feel compelled to pose him in front of a Kangaroo. I doubt there are any artifacts (except for maybe a Staghound) that have any Australian connections.

Most Canadians wouldn't really be concerned anyway. I have found that my Australian visitors actually know more about Canada and Canadians than some of our closer neighbours. Visit Whistler B.C. and find half the people there are from Australia.

When I was in the Philippines many years ago there were a few times when I told people that I was from Canada, and was asked “what state (of the US) was that in?”

When I was in university, I worked in the Yukon one year for a major Canadian Company that had an accounting office in Toronto. They used to send my mail to 'Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ontario".

I love the laid back way of you Canuks... very similar to us. An American comedian on local radio here described Australians as "Free range Canadians"

At least he knows who we are, even if he does talk funny.

No, I do not take any offense at this.
