Canadians (French: Canadiens) are the people who are identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical, or cultural. For most Canadians, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being Canadian.
Canada is a multiethnic society home to people of many different ethnic and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-aboriginal peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Aboriginal, French, British and more recent immigrant customs, languages and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic and economic neighbour, the United States.
This is a list of Canadians, people who are identified with the Canadian nation through residential, legal, historical, or cultural means, grouped by their area of notability.
I would stay for a week in l.a.
trying to make my dreams come true
and california is on my mind
she was here till the end of may
now that wind is blowing out
and the stars begin to fade away
i think too much about us anyway
i’m looking for you till the end of these days
and now that sunshine mirrors in the lake
i could disappear into pain till i die
yesterday i was planning with you
our future and my cure
we didn’t calculate on time
and i’m always waiting on you
now that wind is blowing out
and the stars begin to fade away
you know i’m so sad
everything i’ve done it’s a nonsense
tonight let me be your man
you know i’m so sad
but everybody needs to look ahead
