The verdict
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, and raised in various cities across Canada including Burnaby, BC, Michael J. Fox gave the world Marty McFly, Alex P. Keaton, and decades of courageous Parkinson's advocacy. He holds dual citizenship and spent significant time back in Canada. A Canadian going back in time. Very on-brand.
