I don't imagine the Canadians are too well pleased by this!
Well, we Canadians don't include ourselves in the word Americans, if that's what you mean, even though it's the name of the continent. To us, it's the name of the people from the US. If we talk about people from this continent, including ourselves, it would be "North Americans". And I have heard Yankee or Yank interchangeably in Canada, meaning American (US'n) in both cases.
