  • Delete or speedy delete as protologism: Do not transwiki. If the word has wide usage, this would still be a dictdef and subject to deletion. Geogre 13:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Made-up indeed. I think a better term would be American-Canuck. Ha ha ha, I kid. Croat Canuck 05:00, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Even the 69 Google hits seem mainly to be misspelled references to "Can-Do American", i.e. the iconic assertive American male who "can do" in the sense of "knows how to get things done". The only references I can find to this phrase meaning anything remotely connected to Canada are in French, and even there it's a mostly unattested word referring to the Canada-US border itself, not an ethnic label for people who've crossed it. Unquestionably a delete. Bearcat 10:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
