Ehhh...

Thats always been the case really - the Scots and Irish not wanting their kids to be "too" English (re: Canadian at the time); or the French, Italtians, Greeks, Native Canadians, Newfies, Quebecers, etc... It's usually a case of 1st and 2nd generation coming down strong to reinforce their cultural heritage when confronted by the variation in Canadian society - however I've noticed that from the 2nd generation on there seems to be less of an issue.
