I've only read 22.

I agree with your point. You know how I am about origin when it comes to authors. All of those people are halfs on both sides, although Galbraith is the most American given his lifetime work. Movies were always American and there are few born-in-Canada talents that end up dying in Canada. All that said, anyone who writes a book like
Dance Me Outside gets a Canadian vote from me.
Perhaps it is election year (on both sides of the border) that makes me feisty these days.
