To tell you the truth, this topic doesn't interest me very much. I just don't like it when people lump Canada and the US together. It would be like lumping Switzerland and Germany together 65 years ago

What you ought to dislike and discourage then is USA citizens appropriate the term americans to refer to themselves. I know they are hegemonists and imperialists but they don't rules the americas yet.

What?

They are Americans. That's what they are. Just like you are Australian, and I am Canadian.

Something odd is going on here. I think they teach you some funny stuff in school or something. American refers to a person from the United States of America. Canadian refers to a person from Canada. North American refers to a person from North America.

What is difficult about this?
