You just said it. I’m merely desribing local naming conventions. call any Canadian “American” (in English) and you will get a puzzled reaction at best :)

At least here, it would be conventional to say North American, South American, or Central American.
Local naming conventions preclude the use of “American” to mean Canadian. “North American” would be acceptable.
Aber wie lange noch?
Immer. :)
Und im Krieg haben wir viel Training mit den Deutschen. :)

I know you weren’t saying you think like that. I’m just disagreeing with you about tactics.
No, just no. Singh is as Canadian as the rest of us, period. And for any racialized Canadians reading this, that goes for you too as far as I and millions of other Canadians are concerned. We don’t need to court the votes of racists and we should never feel like we ought to appease them; they either get educated or they spend the rest of their lives voting for regressives. The leadership of our diverse country ought to be reflected in our leaders and the days of trying to middle ground with regressives ought to be put firmly behind us.

Tut mir Leid mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut. Was meinst du? :( (Ich bin Kanadierin)
Guess my Canadian trans ass is boycotting the UK now too. It’s been a long time coming anyway, Terf Island.
(Sorry Scotland, you’re cool but also in a toxic relationship I can’t be around right now. I hope we can be friends again some day)
I see you’re trans. I’m trans too - and if a foreign power like a fascist America comes to bring us “freedom” I sure as hell am picking up gun if I’m fit to, or whatever else is needed. It doesn’t have to be in service of a state, what about your community?? Pacifism is such a bullshit ideology.

“Trans rights” (photo centers drag queens).
I mean, allies are a thing of course, but most trans women, including myself, resent being confused for drag queens. Most drag queens aren’t trans, they’re entertainers.
What’s nice about the fediverse is that you can say this and I can agree and upvote without our accounts getting banned. That, and people over on the other site are clutching pearls about this.
I don’t know what to tell you and I don’t know why you’re getting angry at me - I’m not prescribing language, I’m describing it and yes, I’m aware this differs in other languages and other parts of the world. The continental model we use has North and South America as separate continents, therefore you might as well ask me what to call Africans and Europeans together.
Anyhow, I’m not going to reply anymore since you’re being kinda annoying, sorry.
