From the lonewacko’s blog:

Singer Alanis Morissette becomes U.S. citizen; keeps Canadian citizenship:

…The singer was among some 4,500 people
who took the citizenship oath during a ceremony last week at the Los
Angeles Convention Center. But Morissette isn’t turning her back on
Canada – she’s maintaining dual citizenship. “I will never renounce my
Canadian citizenship. I consider myself a Canadian-American…”

When it came time for the national anthem [at her
“citizenship” ceremony], Morissette said, “I wanted to walk up to one
of the officials to ask if I could sing the anthem.”
Instead, concertgoers at her Los Angeles show that evening were
treated to an impromptu version of the Star Spangled Banner during her
set…

Now, contrast that with the article “Morissette to headline Canadians at Expo ’05” from just ten days ago:

Crowds will be singing “O Canada” with
Alanis Morissette and getting swept up in the drama of Anne Marie
MacDonald’s epic stories about the country in an elaborate national
pavilion at Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan.

Morissette will headline Canada’s gala concert, revealing
her new patriotic fervour. She wrapped herself in the Canadian flag
hosting last year’s Junos and it seems she does not want to leave the
Maple Leaf love-in…

Nothing like playing both sides of the imaginary fence. I note also
that the Yahoo report on this that was linked to by Drudge said she was
30 years old. I know better.
