Canada is not within the country of the United States the last time I checked.

You'd be surprised how often "US-only" includes Canada.

I only asked because a google search tells me it includes Canada and Mexico.

At least you got to be snarky, good job.

That's just evidence of Google's decay.

In no world does "Continental US" mean Canada.

No, that's "America".

The term "American" being applicable to anyone from Canada, the US, and Mexico is a usage of the word that is found almost exclusively outside the US and Canada.
