Both you and the other poster negected to add "North" at all, or until later.

Canada and Mexico are both in the continent of North America, along with the USA. The other poster simply lumped Canada in with America, which is a common shortening of The United States of America.

It is not common to call Canada America, nor Mexico America.

Even by saying Canada, we (in the USA) do not have the same health care system.
