Was born and brought up in India. Have lived in Canada since 1994. Love India, love Canada and love the Raptors. As far as Steve Nash is concerned this is how I see it- after successfully playing in the NBA, he had reached a point in his career where his choices were to either help the only franchise in his home Country grow and gain respect in the league or play for a potential Champion. If he ends up with a championship he will have the satisfaction of having a title and will be remembered for it. If he had chosen the Raptors, he would have had the satisfaction of doing what he could to help the only NBA franchise in his home Country. Selfishness Vs Character. We all know what he chose.

This isn't the US... being Canadian is about being able to hold onto your individual cultural identities..
you don't have to stop being from wherever you're from in order to be Canadian... that's the point of the whole "cultural mosaic" stuff they teach us in school..
celebrate where you're from... that's kinda what being from Canada is about.
unless you're Mexican... then get out of my country.

I'm an East African mix, born in Toronto raised in Toronto, Raptors fan since the earlier days but was watching Bulls in the 90's like everyone else.
Really got into the Raptors when they got back into the playoffs. Now I'm just waiting for them to gain some more respect in this league and make a solid push and bring some recognition to the team from the only team in the north.
