I live in Aurora, Ontario, Canada -- which makes me an Auroran, an Ontarian, and (of course) a Canadian (and proud of it).
If you hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada...I think you refer to yourself as "Haligonian", "Nova Scotian", and (of course) Canadian.
What if you reside in Wawa, ON - or Whitehorse, YK or Saskatoon, SK (or wherever it is that you call home)?
Just what do you call yourself?

I grew up on a farm near Preeceville Saskatchewan and I still like to call myself a "Preecevillian" although I've lived in Regina for 16 years. Here I'm a "Lettervillian"!

I was born and raised in St Louis, Missouri so it's only natural that I'm an Arizonan. Ya gotta experience St. Louis for yourself, one full year minimum, to understand why.. mostly weather related.
St. Louisans have a saying: Don't like the weather? Just wait a few minutes, it'll change."
It's true too. The whole US has had some pretty wild temperature swings lately but in St Louis, 70 degrees one day in February and 20 degrees the next day is NORMAL.

O.P., he is not asking for your life history and inner most beliefs, just what you call yourself. Here, were either Michiganians or Michiganders. Gotta be something better that those names.

Stefenie, Nah, ya might git shot, but ain't nobody gonna eat ya. We prefer coon, possum, rabbit, & squirrel. In that order. "Moon"shine (pun intended)made dem hollers dangerous years ago. Today, drugs & marjiuana make the same places dangerous. The vast majority of Kentuckians are fine examples of Southern Hospitality.

When I think about it at all, I guess I'm a Confederate Yankee. My father was born here in Fly Creek about a mile and a half from where I live, and my mothers side of the family came from Anniston, Alabama.
Considering Anniston's being thought of as one of the nations worst toxic sites, have to wonder how much genetic damage I'm carrying around.

I call myself a Lost Prairiean, but my dad calls me "Pooh". I collect everything of the classic Winnie the Pooh. My first mobile over my crib was a Pooh bear mobile with all the guys hanging on it. My blankets, lamps, music boxes, baby clothes, and now, T shirts and skirts are all Pooh stuff. I have virtually every book ever written about Pooh. :^)
And if that's more than you wanted to know, go tell Piglett.

I am from new glasgow nova scotia so with that I had to call for the spelling for New Glaswegian . They used to make glass bottles here so I hope that had nothing to do with WEDGIES. Oh and rosemary I do know about the national film board of canada's minute and a half film vinette commerial on the origins of winnie the pool. The story behind the story is very interesting. Sorry to go off topic of the off topic
