   Mexicans and Canadians are Americans, too. North Americans, in fact.   
   Just a lot of folks associate it with the US instead of our neighbors   
   to the north and south. Can't hardly talk about Texas without Mexico   
   coming into it, though, and the Great Northwest and Canada are   
   basically the same entity divided by an imaginary line on a map. It's   
   all good.
