What Does it mean to be a Canadian Author?

I've been thinking a lot laterly about what it means to be a Canadian artist or writer. Right now things don't look good for arts funding. We've been here before. What is Canadian content? What is a Canadian Writer? I feel like these things are important, but when I try to define them they seem to defy definition. So I've stared exploging this idea of what it means to be a Canadian Author and devoted a blog to the persuit of an answer. All I have are questions. Does anyone have any ideas?
