    I always assumed North America was Canada, America was the USA/Mexico and South America was Brazil/Venezuela.

      If you accept the 7 continent model, there are 23 countries in North America.

        Do you mean American as in I’m on the continent of America, or American as in I live in the United States? I could only answer yes to one of those.

        as Canadian as they come.

        Truthfully, I hold that belief simply so I can make Game of Thrones cracks like “Canadians are keeping the white-walkers at bay” or “We the north”. However, as of recently Winter has not come to this side of Canada.

          Really? What side are you on then? I’m in the upper midwest US and it’s been super cold and snowy this year. Like a cold year in the 90s, or an average year in the 80s, but nothing we’ve seen in a long time. Except wtith 4 polar inversions because the jet stream is moving south.
