Message to Americans from Canadians

Canadians are not Americans. Canadians are North Americans, however, and so are Mexicans for that matter. Americans seem to insist that Canadians are Americans. We do not say that Stephen Harper is an American Prime Minister, do we? And yet, logically, if Stephen Harper is American, and a Prime Minister then we could say he was an 'American Prime Minister'. Of course, this is ridiculous and no one thinks this. To put it simply, Canada, the USA and Mexico are all in North America. So Canadians, Americans (those people who are citizens to of the United States of America) and Mexicans are North Americans. But we are not all Americans. Only those who are citizens of the United States of America are Americans. We are separate countries with separate governments, separate flags, unique histories and we both speak dialects of English. By the way, in Canadians don't call Iraq 'Eye-raq' and we spell colour, honour and cheque differently. So please, please don't call Canadians 'Americans'.
