The only part I would disagree with is the ethnic demographic. Mexican/Latino is a huge demographic in the USA. They aren't just a minority.

Very different countries.

Yes of course. But we are looking at it from 30,000 feet. IE, from an outsider. People from other nations around the world tend to not know the difference between an American and Canadian purely by looking at them or hearing them talk (by this I mean people who are born in these countries and therefore likely don't have accents prevailing from other nations or languages). A Hispanic person meeting someone from outside North America is probably presumed to be from Central/South America.
There's a reason we wear CDN flag badges when travelling abroad, so as to not be confused with an American.
