How do I not look...; from a European viewpoint

In fact, I
had several lively talks about U.S. politics on a recent 2-week trip to
Tobago
but never felt like posing as a Canadian. (My mother is Canadian, so I can do
a
good imitation.)

I have wondered if the people I saw "lording it" over locals overseas
last year, who claimed to be Canadian, were actually, I'm one of those
who can't tell the difference.

Jan,
That was me. :-)

ha, ha. I beat you to it, when I first got to Europe ages back,
Aussies had such a bad reputation over there, I claimed to be
Canadian. What was really shocking (I thought) was that people
believed me. Poor Candadians!!
