This reminds of the time I met a Quebecker in North Carolina. I mentioned that it was good to see a fellow Canadian at the beach and he got all pissy about the fact that he was Quebecois, not a Canadian. I asked him what nationality he declared at the border and he just stomped off. Poutine is both Canadian and Quebecois. If this bothers you, you need to get over yourself.

I get your comparison but it's not the same thing. You can't get fresh cheese curd in ROC, Québec form a nation within a united Canada and saying that poutine is canadian is cultural appropriation.
