WE live in Canada, NOT America. OK? No wonder those across the pond get
confused. America is synonymous with the USA only.


Erm, in which continent is Canada located? No one in Europe says their
country is "Europe" but we are "Europeans" and you are an American, North
American and a Canadian. The fact that the USA calls itself "America" fits
right in with their jingoist and egoistic personality and is a misnomer.


We are CANADIAN.....full stop....not North American. That is a very big
sore point with any Canadian. Particularly in the last 20 years. I had to
often explain that to people in your adopted country and as soon as they
heard the word "Canada", their attitude did a 180!!

Again, in which continent is Canada located? The fact that you don't
call yourselves "Americans" or "North Americans" is commendable but
please look at an atlas. All British, French, Spanish, etc. are also
Europeans and you are an American.
