Sean,
I agree that the entire issue is nonsense, but maybe not in the way you meant it.
Granted that Pierre Trudeau, being a well-know Canadian, is unlikely to be confused with a US citizen.
But the [[List of Americans]] article seems designed to provoke controversy, to stir up a fuss and to pro- vide entertainment for those who want to have some- thing to wrangle about. Remember all the fun that was had with [[List of famous Canadians]]?
I'm NOT going to discuss it on the talk page, and I'm not going to get involved with the article: I think it's stupid and useless. I don't see what legitimate purpose it serves.
Sure, I'm proud of America (i.e., the United States) and proud to be a natural-born citizen of it. But what the heck do we need a list for? I mean, what would any- one *do* with such a list?
Okay, if someone wants to start creating lists like the following, I guess I won't mind :-) * [[List of US citizens]] * [[List of citizens of South Korea]] * [[List of Mexican restaurants in Los Angeles]] * [[List of Latin American singers]]
But please let's not waste any more time with contro- versy magnets.
