She's not marrying a Canadian. Don't be stupid.

Edgar Bronfman's grandfather was a Canadian, but his part of the family has been settled in New York for many years. Edgar Bronfman Junior, Ben's father, went to a private high school in Manhattan, worked in Broadway and LA for a while, then move to London. (And that's not London, Ontario.)

Ben's mother, Sherri Brewer, has no connections to Canada. I'm not sure if, legally, Ben can claim Canadian citizenship, but I don'T see why he would have bothered. MIA is marrying an American (a very rich one).

Canada is a separate country, only legalistically. In all other ways, culturally, economically, socially, it is an extension of the US. Though Canadians like to think of themselves as better than Americans, they depend on America, not only for their economic existence, but as a source of culture and affirmation. There is nothing uniquely Canadian, except perhaps for part of French Canada, but the French Canadians don’t think of themselves as part of Canada anyway.

hey, she’s marrying a CANADIAN. No possibility of a green card marriage. We’re a separate country you know!!

I think M.I.A. is a wonderful artist and if she needs a break from music then good for her. The music industry is a tough grind. Although I am not a musician I have read and heard a lot about the dirty politics of the music business. M.I.A. is right touring is hard work, recording, the record label just cares about sales and not the art. I hope this isn’t the last we hear from M.I.A. Maybe she just needs a break?

I like MIA but she is an average rapper at best,she has good beats backing her up kind of like Kanye.
