Okay I'm shocked at myself for actually making the effort to answer one of Richius' threads, but here we are.

Here is a list of famous Canadians, provided by our good friend Wikipedia.  I haven't taken the time to check them all, but a sizeable chunk of them have remained Canadian citizens.  So that debunks the first post of this thread.

As for the poll statement; "Canadians with ambition eventually end up becoming American"; that's impossible to prove.  Any conclusion of 'true' or 'false' would be a totally subjective opinion with very little factual evidence.

Next please.

Ever heard of dual citizenship?

Well you took the time to ask the question, so feel free to go through the whole list and check each person to see if they all became American citizens or dual citizens.  You should find all the answers you need there.

Unlike Mexicans or any non-english speaking nation for that matter, Canadians are not seen as "foreigners" in the U.S. You can't tell if a person's Canadian, but you can if he/she is Mexican(most cases), Chinese, Middle eastern(most cases), Japanese, etc.

I don't really see how that's relevant, but OK anyway.
