Well yes I certainly do feel a connection to other Canadians but I do also feel some connection to an Italian or a Finn or an Irish person if I meet them to some degree because I know that some of my ancestry also came from those areas.

Sorry but that connection is artificial. You can't feel a connection to another person of an ethnic group just because of your genes. If you grew up as an Italian or as a Finn then you can have a genuine connection, other than that, it's purely symbolic and a result of your mind.
