USA and Canada
"Alias" wrote in message ... Heather wrote: 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!! Figgs |
