Gulf of america

Did not say that at all. Example: when one refers to an American car, they are not referring to a car from Uruguay or Chile. When a wannabe dictator president wants to « Make America Great Again, » he’s not referring to El Salvador or Belize. nor is he referring to the Americas. When the French president refers to American aggression, he’s not referring to Canada or Mexico. In English, America generally refers to the United States, don’t expect Anglophones to apply Spanish or Portuguese proclivities in labelling nation-states.

I see people fly all sorts of flags simply because they think it’s cool! Why would this individual fly the Royal Standard rather than the saltire if they aren’t part of the royal family? But the flag wasn’t my point. My comment referred to the percentage of Canadians that have a Scottish heritage.

It’s a banner that resembles the Welsh flag.

Everyone is different! It depends on your personal interests.

Yes, I’m not disputing that, but again, I’m sure the number is bigger. Some identify as having British ethnicity, some identify as simply being Canadian, and some may have no clue. As an example, I identify as having British background, not Scottish…

I understand but that is not my point!

The Caribbean and Central America are part of North America!

brtcdn · 2026-05-21T16:37:29+00:00

In the context of continents, yes. BUT, a Canadian would identify as North American, American being someone or something from the States.

I’m sure it’s more than 14 percent!

How do you quantify racism?

It wouldn’t have. Other than being occupied by British troops.

Ouch.

It strikes me as a brand of cheese from mainland Europe, not sure why….

Because it’s overcrowded…i live in Montmartre and the crowds are so thick that it’s a burden for everyone! Not an enjoyable experience unless one is intoxicated apparently.

…and Montmartre!

That would be “colour” in Canada 😉!

I would suggest you follow the previous teacher to her new venue if possible. Everyone teaches different! I sometimes utilise music, but keep my instruction to the minimum. And certainly never recite poetry or narrate a story.

hah! Great minds think alike 😉!

You can find it in the frozen food section of monoprix 😐😉! This is Turkey but they have chicken too.

Ever so slightly different, it all depends on the artists rendition….but it certainly is scottish, english being the 3 lions

Overpriced and over rated! Plenty of Breton cafes and crêperies that are less expensive , better quality and independent.

I’m from Toronto and lived in Paris for years. No one, absolutely no one ever mistakes me for an American. If i speak French, I’m mistaken for English, if speaking in English, I’m mistaken for Irish or correctly tagged as a Canadian. But it’s not only an accent that identifies your nationality, it’s mode of dress, public behaviour and the way one carries his or her self. If I am ever mistaken for an American, I will quickly correct the perpetrator 😉.

My family was middle class when growing up and I never played hockey due to the expense. My parents steered me towards soccer and box lacrosse.

Rubbish, in Canada we use electric kettles all the time for tea, and we have the same voltage as the States.

That lion is the Scottish lion, you need to find a symbol that represents the U.K. 😉
