I must agree with this statement...

Let's face it. There have been many top athletes who immigrated to Canada and who chose to take out Canadian citizenship and perform in Canadian colours internationally. To criticize someone trying to do it the other way is unfair.

Take tennis players Mary Pierce and Greg Rusedski... They are still Canadians to me... Case in point... I still cheer for them as a sentimental favourite becasue of the "Canadian Connection", besides Mary has a great arse!!! What about Gold medal winning Olympians Lennox Lewis, Owen Nolan and Daniel Agalia (sp) (who were not even born here)!!! Don't we cheer them on???
Lets face it, we live in a multicultural society and our bloodlines are all over the shop... Love them or hate them, Canadians born here or not, chose to represent us or not are all still CANADIAN!!!
It always takes a typical ignorant cnut like Steve1234 to be negative... Not that being a Celtic supporter has anything to do with it...
One patriot Guinness...
My vote goes to Craig Forrest, but Hargrieves may surpase him by the time his career is out??? I was thinking Tomas Ruzinski should be in this pole after his career ends as well, but than I remembered he wasn't even born in Canada!!!
Ps. Interesting to see 50% of Hargreaves votes have came from keepers...
