Fun fact
She grew up on rural Texada Island, a small island off the BC coast reachable only by ferry — about as far from a Hollywood upbringing as it gets.
The verdict
Born in Los Angeles, but raised from age five on Texada Island, in her Canadian mother's native British Columbia, after her parents divorced. No documented citizenship of her own and no Canadian work credits on file, so it stays at the connections that are actually sourced. One parent, raised here, and time actually lived there: 2.0. Canada isn't letting go of this one, tax season or not.
