Swedish Deputy PM: Sweden needs to pick its friends wisely, and we are choosing Canada… So when we come to America, we come to Canada now.

When I was in high school we had an exchange program with Avesta, Sweden. Insanely smart kids over there. The only surprise is that it took them this long.

No biggie. Stockholm is run by Sharia law anyway.

It's a wasteland of "No Go Zones".

The best part of that quote is how many MAGAs it will trigger because they don't realize America is comprised of more than just the United States.

You may be technically correct (the best kind of correct)...

And yet... and yet... call a Canadian or a Mexican an American and you'll either be in the box for 5 minutes for fighting or given a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct.

People who want to call a citizen of the United States a "United Statesian" instead of American because the latter is exclusionary are dipshiats of the highest magnitude. My sister-in-law is one of them. Don't be like my sister-in-law.

I would never say that...but everyone that is on either of the American Continents are Americans. Just because we co-opted the term doesnt change the meaning of words. (As you know)

Just like every French Citizen is a European but not every European is French the same holds true for the US and America.

French Guiana would like to have a word. ;-)

I think you missed where I was coming from which Handy succinctly summarized. No I would never think to call a Canadian 'American".

TBF, there are vastly different thoughts about this subject in South America, where everyone on the continent (because of the belief that the Americas are one continent) is an “American”. The fact that we in the US have hijacked that term for ourselves is not without controversy.

France was unusual, if not unique, in that they granted full French citizenship to their conquered colonists throughout the colonial period. For example, St. Barts is not a wholly owned subsidiary of France - it *IS* France. French passports, euro as currency, the works.

I believe the longest "in country flight" is technically in France.

I get it. But most foreign countries, Europe, Asian, whatever, will almost always ask you, "Are you from the States?" They rarely ask, "Are you American?"

Paris to St Denis, Reunion. Also if I recall, because Reunion is France, it was the first place to start using the Euro technically.

Can confirm, was a nightmare to be there this summer. sunlight all day and half the night, the smell of Byredo perfumes wafting through the air, vaccine clinics on nearly every block.

Conversely, their stereotypical jab is that "you can always find the American in the room, they're the loud one."

So....we invaded Mexico.

"Accidentally"

They also have the longest “domestic” matches in soccer because teams from the overseas departments play in the Coupe de France, their domestic cup tournament. So every year teams from like Tahiti or Guadeloupe travel to Europe and sometimes vice versa.
