Canada has always been extremely supportive of me. Thankfully, when I made the move, I had full support of everybody back home. It does feel special to be a part of both countries. I do follow the Canadian team as well and keep an eye on them. I have not, honestly, received one (negative) letter, one word, nothing toward my decision to become an American citizen.
