Of course it *could* have something to do with the fact that "Canada" wasn't an English word... (http://www.discovercalgary.com/FeaturesReviews/CanadainReview/8-437.html)
And those French call the folks who live in Paris "Parisians"... so calling someone from (a) Kanata Kanatians wouldn't be so far off the mark. :-)
(BTW, my grandfather lived in Canada for a while before finally moving here... quotas on folks from Japan made it rather easier to get here that way at the time)
