Wilson is NOT Canadian......he just lived here.
To all my Canadian Brothers and Sisters who want to claim him you can not, because you can't claim somebody that doesnt want to be claimed. He has had ample time in the spotlight to outright CLAIM Canada but time and time again he has not. My guess is that it's his genuine way of honouring his Scottish parents which is a noble thing for any kid to do. The fact that he didn't acknowledge that the fans Erin were refering to were Canadian fans (Not too many Scots made the trip to RED BUD but Im sure hundreds of Canadians made the trip across the Detroit border). I said it in another thread, if he dosen't want Canada then we don't want him, clinging onto the hope that he'll say he's Canadian is starting to seem a bit pathetic.

If he was Canadian he would be about 10 seconds a lap slower .

you seem to be reading into dean's reaction on the podium quite a bit. If Blackfoot lets klatt and facciotti race the des nations then he's in. He has canadian citizenship so there is no issue of his nationality. A person can just have duel citizenship

What's a bit pathetic is that it matters this much to someone.

Whatever team he raced the MXDN for is the country I'd say he's from... I don't know why this is so complex...

I agree with everybody who feels this is being blown way out of proportion, the intention of the thread was in some way to give some closure to any of the Canadian fans that are still holding out hope that he might denounce Scottland on the podium. As for the Des Nations, my understanding is that Canada asked and Scotland didn't, that might not be the case this fall. And really if you had a chance for international race experience before you even turned Pro wouldnt you take it too....no matter who came knocking.

I've spent some time in Mexico but wouldn't ride for their MXDN team.


Just sayin'...

i dont really care anymore, but i dont think you shoud be able to ride for another country after you have previously raced for another?

how many times did Jeff Ward race for GB?

Yeah, but that might have more to do with the water in there pits and the Fox V3 sombraro you'd have to wear.

Hopefully Matthes doesn't see this thread, he might jump off a cliff.

I don't want to see him on our team. I'd rather see a real Canadian on our team.

Dude, it's because Canadian's want SOOO BAD for one of our own to break through in the US and be a player.

I'm a big fan of his no matter what.

I consider him Scottish but he has a place in the heart of Canadians and we have his back. He can ride the mxdn for his rightful country (imo).

And I didnt hear England try to claim him till he started ripping this year. Last year it was fine and dandy for him to be Canadian. Now that he gives them a better shot at the MXdN, he from GB. Well either way USA is gonna crush all comers this year so give Canada a break and let Deano ride for him.

I don't care who you are. If you didn't chuckle at that, someone needs to check your vitals.
