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. )

I suspect the difference in the dates on which thanksgiving is observed in
The US and Canada are due to the Canadian celebration being a harvest
festival, while the US observance dates back to the Pilgrim fathers who
celebrated a safe passage to the new world.

Cheers, eh

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.

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.

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