Nobody refers to Canada or Mexico as America. North America is not America and American is exclusively used to refer to the US.

No. Canadian.
Funny how Canadians don't want to be called "American", Mexicans don't want to be called "American", but everyone from outside the area INSISTS that it's an appropriate name for them. Even the commenter above called you a "US person", the only other time I've seen that was in legislation about immigration, never as a demonym.
