I get it but Canada is in America.
The history of the term is quite interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caff%C3%A8_americano

That's interesting. In Austria we call it "Verlängerter" btw. That's German for "a longer one" :D
As an American: "fuck America" buy anything else
As a reluctant American, ditto.
I think americano is better.
During the second World War, American soldiers were in France. They kept asking for water in their coffee because the French coffee was too strong. The French came up with the name americano to mock the Americans because they were too pussy to drink proper French coffee.
Please keep mocking the Americans.
