Now, either you're being sarcastic, CDNBB (what do THOSE letters stand for, I wonder?) or you're incredibly honest.  I mean, it takes guts to admit that you don't know what BNA stands for. You're not alone, of course.  Millions of other Canadians--I presume you are Canadian--don't know, either.  

In any case, it would be a "what", namely British North America, typified by the folks north of the 49th parallel (the boundary agreed to by the British and the U.S. in the early 1800s.) 

See my response to Cosmic Wheels.  And thanks for proving my point.
