Concordia University: Hyphens

Hyphens Dept: Of course we all have hyphens, he added. But just Canadian sounds great to me, according to Globe and Mail. The author chronicled his search in a book of essays titled Shopping for a Better Country , published last year. Canadian is his fourth citizenship, following Yugoslavian, Croatian and American and and just Canadian, please. Hyphens are something Novakovich hopes to leave behind in his new life. So many Canadians have foreign roots, Canadian entails the hyphens, he said in an interview from his office at Concordia University, where he teaches creative writing. You don t always need to emphasize them. Novakovich, 56, chose Canada while living and working in the United States under President George W. Bush. Canada seemed so much better than the States under Bush, he said. This just seemed to be a much better, more humane, responsible country, and so I m giving it a shot. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
