.....if you insist on hyphenation I would suggest, if you are a citizen, that you announce yourself as a Canadian-French, Canadian-Irish, etc. The country of your choice of birth takes precedence in all matters.

Could Andy McKenna make clear exactly what a hyphenated Canadian is? Would that be a "French-Canadian" because they are from Quebec, or perhaps an Irish-Canadian (like myself, born in Ireland but a Canadian citizen), or perhaps someone whose skin is a different colour, thereby rendering them a second-class citizen?
Also I don't think the Star's extensive coverage of this shameful story is an obsession, unless it is an obsession with seeing that justice is done for all Canadians.
