R Why are Canadians not Americans? They live in America too.
Ahem:

I'll bite.

You might as well ask why the British are not the same as the
French. They live in Europe, after all. )


We most certainly do not live in Europe. Europe is a continent off the
east coast of Great Britain. It used to be frequently cut off by fog.

And that makes us both Europeans - which we are.
Surely Mexicans are Americans too ?

Oh NO Senor~

LOL! We are North Americans, yes. But we are Canadians. We have our own
culture and heritage that is different from the US. While we love our
American neighbors and we have a lot in common with them, the term
American has become associated with a citizen of the United States of
America just as Canadian or Canuck has become associated with us lot
who live North of the border.

As for Thanksgiving, yes, it is a harvest related thing but the meals
and customs are much the same. We give thanks for the bounty before us
and for whatever else we are greatful for such as our family and
friends and so forth.

Canadians, Americans, whatever. They're all just former colonials
anyway. :-)
