In my case, it's not that I myself am proud to be a Canadian by birth. Rather, I'm proud to be third-generation Canadian. Third-generation, because that means my family of birth has pretty well established itself in its new homeland.
If I had to emigrate to the United States today and stay there till the day I die, I would probably keep a recognizably "Canadian" accent for as long as I could speak. Also, I would probably not be able to resolve some of the culture shock I might feel about various aspects of living in the US of A.
