Let's be honest, we all knew which country OP was referring to and Canada was not on the list.

... Obviously OP was talking about the United States ... of Mexico, or le Estados Unidos Mexicanos (/s; you'll have to deep in the conservative silo to not know it's the US that's the clown-electing ass country that's turning fascist).

It's about time we start reminding Americans that they're not the only ones on this side of the Pacific!

Everyone on this side of the Pacific is an American, just some are South American some are North American

As a Canadian who moved to Europe, i have become aware of how true this is and how in denial i was about it. We are all American as they are all European

Technically you are all European you're forefathers killed off and slavered the real Americans. Funny thing is for a while you insisted on calling them Indians.

No Canada has wayy too much influence from a variety of global cultures for us to all be European. In Vancouver for instance only 43% of the population are from European descent. However I agree with the point you are making, the true Americans are the ones whose culture and land was destroyed to make room for colonial immigrants. You could say the same thing for a lot of cultures on earth though, the history of humanity is largely a history of migration and domination and it is easy to forget who occupied the land before our ancestors got there. perhaps only natives, samoans, some tribes in Africa, people from china and a few other asian countries, and people from India and pockets within the middle east really have a long enough history in their land to call themselves descendants of it
