Exactly! Nor Native Canadian blood either!
lol

.. I've been asked many times - (and once by Gord himself) if my last name (Westbrook by marriage) was of Native origin..nope - it's English/Scottish/Nova Scotia/Ontario - just like Lightfoot....and like my maternal family origins.

my maiden name makes me second generation Canadian with Italian heritage going back for generations on my fathers side.

If we go back far enuf we're probably all related..

I'm sure somewhere along the way I was related to or actually was a native of the Caribbean. No Canadian can hate winter as much as I do without a reason..I've got Caribbean heritage with a love of the tropics in me somewhere in my past!
