“There were Americans everywhere,” Peter Garapick, a superintendent of search and rescue for the Canadian Coast Guard, speaking to the CBC.
When is comes right down to it, Canadians are also Americans. (Along with Mexicans, Panamanians, Peruvians, etc.)
Yes, North or South Americans. but the only country in the Americas that has America in its name is the USA.
I was in my early 20s and learned that lesson well while working in South America. If you want to really make your hosts indignant and upset, just announce “I am an American.” They’ll really flip out. So what you said is VERY true.
