So do I. I also know Canadians who ask "Why does 'American' always mean the United States. We live in North America. I spent a long time wondering if I should get into the Mexico is also "North America" discussion, but decided not to. But as far as Canadian poetry is concerned, the Canadian journals and the American journals are usually included in the North American books and magazines that list places to submit too.
Anyway, if I backtrack and say that I am interested in Canadian poetry magazines too. I have a special place in my heart for them because when I was first trying to get published from Sweden, it was Canadian print journals such as Malahat Review, Event, Fiddlehead, Windsor Review who were good to me.
And of course Centrifugal Eye and Rotary Dial and other Canadian mags that no longer exist share that special place. Besides which I love Canada. One of the friendliest countries I've visited.
