A driver plowed a car into a crowd at a street festival celebrating Filipino heritage in Vancouver on Saturday night, killing at least nine people and injuring others.
Some of those attending the festival helped arrest the suspect at the scene, who police identified as a 30-year-old man.
…
“It’s something you don’t expect to see in your lifetime,” Kris Pangilinan, a Toronto-based journalist, told Canadian public broadcaster CBC. “[The driver] just slammed the pedal down and rammed into hundreds of people. It was like seeing a bowling ball hit — all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air.”
He continued, “It was like a war zone… There were bodies all over the ground.”
But Canada is in america.
north america
Yeah the same as the US and Mexico.
are you in north america? You may have a different dialect of english than north americans. This would explain the confusion. We do not consider ourselves americans, because american is the demonym of the US.
I’m in the US but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played games online and had someone chastise me because they were also from america. Its kinda funny how you can get upset about being reminded of that while all those people get upset about being excluded.
Ah. I’m not especially upset or anything, I am just trying to explain the difference in terminology.
I wasn’t implying you were upset. I just found it humorous how one person can see something one way and another person who lives close by you can see it exactly the opposite. Not that recent events haven’t altered that ratio.
