I agree. That **** always happens on here.

Michaelle Jean was a native speaker of a Latin-based language which is an official language of an American nation of which she was the internationally-recognized head of state.

Canada is Not Latin America. **** off already.

Non-Canadians arguing with actual Canadians on whether or not Canada is a part of Latin America....City-Data is a special place...one can get very technical with the definition of Latin America but I think most people know what the general spirit of the term is...I am not sure that Haiti even qualifies as part of LA...and as mentioned, once you begin sub-dividing countries there is no telling where it ends

First person that comes to mind is Aristobulo Isturiz who was vice president in Venezuela for a short while.

[EVANGELISTTI]

Marina Silva and Joaquim Barbosa in Brazil.

Several cities in Puerto Rico have black mayors. I'm sure the same can be said for several cities in Dominican Republic and Cuba. Those are the 3 Spanish countries with highest percentages of African descendants.

This business of Haiti being part of Latin America periodically surfaces. Well if that nation is Latin American then so is Canada, where French is an important language spoken by millions, either as a first or second language.
