Okay........it's time to get this straight............I keep seeing this term "Canuck" and I am assuming (based on the use) that the word describes a particular part of Canada......Like Liverpool in London or something...
Please do excuse my ignorance.........enlighten me.........a Canuck..........IS?

a canuck is a canadian...any and all canadians. (started out as a reference to frenchys) The earliest recorded use of the term Canuck, sometimes spelled Kanuk, was in 1835. Similar terms such as Cannakers or Canukers were in use in the 1840s. The term was first used in lumber camps in Maine to refer to French Canadian loggers working in the Maine woods. It was used to distinguish them from other Canadians.
