Well Canada and Mexico are part of North America. And as a Canadian friend pointed out, Canadians are Americans (well at least those that don't live in Quebec). In fact any resident of North or South America can claim to be an American. I know most residents of the United States think that we are THE Americans, but that is not technically correct. In fact we don't have a common name that concretely separates US residents from other residents of the Americas (like Canadian, or Mexican). I also imagine the contracts specify that the 70% content must come from North American sources (which still includes Mexico in my Geography books - Central America begins at Belize).
