Downvoting because AI. Pierre does suck though.

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.

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. :)

Ich bin Kanadierin und du bist nicht meine Mama!

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.

I originally agreed with your first comment here (which you’ve changed) and I still do agree with the basic premise: that cats should not be allowed outdoors unsupervised.

But tbh, now you’re just coming across as a bit of a dick who hates cats, which I don’t abide at all.
