When people refer to European civilization, they are usually including USA/Canada in there as they are part of the 'Western World.' It would probably do people well to specify 'European Civilization' or 'European-based Civilization' I guess.

There is a term, Anglosphere, which encompasses UK, USA, Canada, NZ, Australia. It's useful to recognize the Anglosphere as a distinct subset of The West - not least because Russia is effectively Western now.
