Why is it when I conjure up "Canadian", I think of someone other than this?

****Is it prejudice? When I read the headline, "Canadian ..." I couldn't help but be curious to see if it was either an Anglo-Saxon or a French-Canadian. Imagine my surprise... ***
Canadian Charged with Trying to Export Nuclear Devices to Iran
[Toronto Star] Mike Funston - A Toronto man has been charged with attempting to ship devices to Iran that can be used to make enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Mahmoud Yadegari, 38, a Canadian citizen who emigrated from Iran in 1998, is charged with attempting to procure and export to Iran 10 pressure transducers, RCMP Insp. Greg Johnson said. The charges followed a tip to U.S. agents from a Boston-area company that sold the $1,100 devices to a Canadian. The devices were shipped to Toronto by truck and were bound for Dubai and then to Iran, Johnson said.
