I had thought before that yes maybe I could just call myself a European or European-Canadian since I am basically a European mutt I suppose. To complicate matters even further I have a double barreled surname as my mother kept her maiden name upon marriage to my father. Also I did not grow up with any one cultural influence. Rather I had a variety of cultural influences growing up I would say.

Since you grew up in Canada (I'm assuming in a Canadian family/environment) you are just Canadian. You probably connect to Canadians more than to any other people. If you see an Italian person, do you connect to that person at a deep level as a result of a common culture/identity?
