For the most part I don't understand this comment, but Canadians are boycotting USA: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce9d7pj543eo

But which united states in America?! Canada (nation in America, specifically North) has provinces, while Mexico (officially the "United Mexican States" - also in America, also states, also united) is definitely not being boycotted.

All this confusion could have been cleared up if the states (which are united, in America, but not the Mexican states that are united and in America) had enough pride to name their country something distinct and uniquely identifying.

hehe, I'm not sure how your comments will fly on HN but I quite like them. In 2017/18 I could often be found sporting a bright red trucker hat that said "Make America Mexico Again" - quite a few people around Toronto stopped me with approvals and laughs.
