      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.

      ‘America’ is being used as a hegemonic moniker for The United States of America.
