It is cute how americans sometimes tell you i'm from chicago or a random state instead of saying "i'm american".

Imas a Canadian and i do it the other way around and say i'm canadian. If they are from canada, then i might say my province or city.

@elias
I do it like you, too. It disappoints me, though, that some Canadians from Quebec introduce themselves as FRENCH Canadian. I'd rather everyone follow the more basic way.

@SlowRain well, they like to be different 😄...

I think they just don't want to be mistaken for being from France 🫠

@elias
No one would mistake them for being from France if they introduced themselves as Canadian. They just don't want to be mistaken for being non-Quebecois Canadians.
@SlowRain i'm not too sure about all that east coast stuff. on the west coast, it's like Quebec doesn't exist...and there is no French language :D
@elias
This is true, too. But I've never heard someone outside of Quebec introduce themselves as English Canadian. Canadian is Canadian. It says so on the passport. To introduce yourself as otherwise is to make a statement.
