Ahh hello, European. As a Canadian I would like to point out that Canadians have rejected the demonym “American” (when it is applied to us) and have done so far as long as I can remember. We consider it offensive.
If you’re looking to start a fight with a Canadian, calling him an American is an easy way to do that.
Such a confusing headline. They don’t want to live in America, yet they stay in Canada?

Then don’t call me European :o
They didn’t know what country you were from but were fairly confident on continent, and if you had said North American no one would’ve cared.
For most Europeans, America includes north and south.
‘America’ is being used as a hegemonic moniker for The United States of America.
