      For geographical purposes… Re-reading your comment. Ok i’ll give it to you, thats even something i might have said myself. It doesnt deserve all the downvotes. Thing is with Trumps 51st state push, canadians have become vert sensitives with being called américains.

        For geographical purposes he’s still wrong. If you’re Canadian you were taught the 7-continent model in school growing up. There is no “American” continent.

        That fella is using a primitive and culturally reductive unified America continent model which does not apply to the people who live here.

      The fact you think “America” is a continent says everything anyone needs to know about your knowledge of geography.

          That fact you think you can tell someone else how their culture should work makes you the biggest piece of shit.

          My culture and how I experience me and our people own our culture isn’t a debate. It’s reality.

          You don’t get to define how my country’s people identify ourselves.

          Politely, go fuck yourself.

          The culture of the people who live in a place takes precedence over the culture of people across an ocean lol.
