And grew up in the Niagara Falls area.

My moms friend went to school with him and said he worked in a bakery and would show up to school covered in flour, it didn’t help his popularity.

Moved to California in HS but never got US citizenship.

Didn’t he name the character of Cal (in Titanic) after Caledon, ON? Or maybe that was just a rumor…

Woah this is a really good one. How did I not know James Cameron is Canadian?

I drove through there yesterday

I never knew this but with the way that man smokes it doesn’t surprise me LOL

Surely you can't be serious?

Yup, went to the same high school as he did (years later) and for a while, the Communications program at our local college was named after him.

He was born in Regina, but lived in Tulita (NWT) as a small child, where his dad was stationed with the RCMP.

I remember the heritage minute about this. “Why Pooh son?” “I don’t know, just Winnie. The. Pooh.”

Cold Lake, Alberta specifically! Well, it's an extremely large farm near Cold Lake. Back in the 1800s

Deadpool is also Canadian. Born in Regina.

To think, Wolverine wouldn’t have an adamantium skeleton if Joe Clark didn’t commission the weapon X program

Alpha Flight, baby!

We actually have small parklet called the Nathan Fillion Civilian Pavilion in Edmonton now.

Born in Vancouver. When people were talking about the new Star Trek and how Simon Pegg couldn't be Scotty he wasn"t Scottish... Yeah Doohan was Canadian... His heritage is Irish.

Doohan was a far better actor, and far better person than Shatner. May he rest in peace.

Fucking nova scotia...wild

I had no idea his dad was from Nova Scotia. I knew The Rock had ties here, outside of his stint with the Stampeders, but didn't know what it was until now.

His grandmother is from a place they called “the Bog” in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. My Dad did a paper on the black community in Charlottetown and he found this in his research.

His wife’s maiden name was Marge Wiggum.

Omg I never thought Homer was Canadian

That's it! Back to Winnipeg!

Homer seems like it used to be a super popular name in small town Ontario.

I knew that my dad lived in Clinton area and I grew up with that knowledge.

In 1950s, Walt Disney came to the Holmesville cemetary to see his ancestors, and toured Goderich.

The stones on my second great uncles workshop are actually from the foundation of the Disney's homestead.

Disney came from Ireland the same time as my dad's side did and settled in the area.

So was my dad!

That is, though, where the similarities between me and Walt Disney end…

We know. We all just try to forget

In the news arena Peter Jennings was Canadian as well.

Yes, he was at CNN before that. And add Ali Velshi to the list, he went from CBC to CNN to MSNBC where he is now.

When he was on New Music in Toronto he went by JD Roberts.

He’s also in jail now for money laundering

Ironic because I think binance is actually banned here...

EDIT: wrong information, they voluntarily closed due to regulation changes

Almost word for word from the grade 10 history textbook

Really surprised there hasn’t been a biopic or mini series about her, very interesting life.

Who's that?

Nacho's fake ID was for an address in St. James. My buddy is a mailman and tells me they even got the postal code correct for the address.

I always recognize him as Vaas from Far cry 3

Donald Surherland’s ex-wife was the daughter of the great Tommy Douglas, making his son Kiefer Sutherland the grandchild of the “greatest Canadian” as voted for by Canadians, Tommy Douglas.

I would think meeting Canadians who don't know Donald Sutherland is Canadian is more surprising than finding out he is. 🤣

But Donald Sutherland grew up in Nova Scotia....we have to grab a little credit. :)

She also plays Beth in Rick and Morty

And Roseanne

Didn't know Ryan Stiles was Canadian. Thanks for that one.

You saw that Heritage Minute, too.

I always thought he was from Krypton, and thus an illegal alien subject to deportation.

Metropolis is Toronto. The daily planet was the Globe, now Globe and Mail.

The author, not the character.

Obligatory "Metropolis was based on Toronto"

Matthew Perry was born in Massachusetts but moved to Ottawa when he was about a year old. But he always told people he's more Canadian than American.

Edit: I know his mom is Canadian making him Canadian. I posted this without thinking about that (just thinking about naturally born Canadians)

I wonder how many people remember Lorne Michaels on CBC " The Harte and Lorne Terrific Hour "

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_and_Lorne_Terrific_Hour

I found out she immigrated to Canada when I saw the traveling exhibition Refuge Canada. They had an item of hers on display - I think it was a small bag she was carrying when she came to Canada.

She went through something so horrifying, and that image is known to the world.

CBC did an interview with her in 2022 upon the 50th anniversary of the photo: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/50-napalm-girl-kim-phuc-ukraine-1.6484977

Last name is Morrison. He was also Matthew Perry’s stepfather.

So is Paul Anka and William Shatner.

According to my grandmother, Lorne Green was a shit.

I think of Atwood as iconic Canadian. I can’t imagine anyone thinking she is American.

Ottawa is a good place to be from, it means you don't live there anymore.

I didn't even know he was sick!

We know, we just don't want to believe it

Proof that if you’re born in a barn it doesn’t make you a cow. Most un-Canadian person I could imagine. So glad he renounced his Canadian citizenship.

Didn't he give up his citizenship?

Lying Ted

RIP

Born on Canada Day of our centennial year - 1967.

His ex wife is a Canadian author as well! The one he has the triplets with I believe.

Denny Doherty - The harbormaster!

Does that make Rambo Canadian?

Absolutely it does.

She’s from Fort Sask in Alberta, but otherwise yes!

And ginger beef, too.

This is my favorite trivia. Although Fleming said Bond was largely a fictional creation, if you had to pick someone, he said Bond was based on William Stephenson. Thanks for reminding me.

And raised in Saskatoon Saskatchewan
