Just goes to show how much attention is paid to Canada in US schools. I think that if you waterboarded me, I couldn't tell you who the PM was (I only know the names of 3 - Trudeau, Mullroney (sp?), and Chretienne (sp?).) And that is sad. 
I do have a question though, and this is probably the best place to ask it. Why do Canadians usually say that they are from "North America" or identify themselves as "North Americans" instead of saying that they are from Canada or are Canadian?  |
where have you run into that? when I was in Europe it seemed that Canadians were always quick to self identify as they did not want to be taken for being from the lower' country. and I've never encountered one here in the states using that phrase
