Thread Name: BS: America's shame
Subject: RE: BS: America's shame
True enough. Most Canadians refer to Americans as North Americans.

Why should they get to define themselves as Americans when in fact there are three countries in North America and many more in Central and South America?

What makes them more American than anyone else on these two continents?

Maybe now that they are not so united and have fallen from glory, citizens of the U.S. will now be referred to as Staters.
