I always find it funny when people try and say that so and so isn't from X because they were born in Y or at some point the band lived in Z. Is Metric a Canadian band? I mean Emily Haines also has American citizenship and half the band lives in the US, and have recorded in NYC. Another example, Los Campesinos! is a group of 7 that met at school in Cardiff. None are welsh. Yet ask them all where they're from and they'll say Cardiff.
I think if you asked the members of Arcade Fire, including Win, they would be inclined to say they're from Montreal. If you want to disagree with that you might as well say they're a band from Haiti. Also, if you asked just about anyone who knows anything about music or even the Arcade Fire about where they're from you would get a near unanimous response of "Canada." If both the band and the general public say they're from somewhere, why can't that be true? it's not like Texan drinking water created the band.
