I have a similar experience as the letter writer, i came to Canada 45 years ago for an employment opportunity and ended up staying, after some time i became a Canadian citizen. I now feel more like a Canadian citizen than an American and have no aspirations on returning to the USA.
I dont understand why after 43 years in Canada the letter writer is still obsessing about the USA, after 43 years you're probably more Canadian than American.
