Because Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina or Brazil are by definition countries which were former colonies of Spain, Portugal or France. On the other side, Canada and the US are English-speaking nations (Quebec would qualify as Latin American but as it is still part of Canada, it is not considered as such).

Besides, Latin America is composed by many countries with culture and social values more akin to those of France, Spain and Portugal, while the US and Canada have more affinity to those of England. That's why Canada and the States are considered Anglo-America.
