Comment Hey, Canadians are Americans too... (Score 1) 1111
"Canadians...speak English with nearly American accents"... hey! Don't forget, Canadians are Americans also. We're all part of North America, the last time I checked.
It drives many Canadians crazy when people call the U.S. "America" to the exclusion of everyone else. I cringe every time a U.S. legislator discusses how the "American People" have spoken.
A friend of mine had an interesting incident at customs heading into Windsor, Ontario a few years back when he was asked his citizenship. He told the customs officer he was "American", to which the customs officer replied, "We're all Americans here. What country are you from?" ;)
