So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???
We just can’t win.
Canada is the comma of nations. Technically it's supposed to be there, but no one notices if it's missing.
Canada's influence is so weak they couldn't even convince the world their bacon is actually bacon.
Canada's claim to fame is being slightly more interesting than North Dakota.
Canada's national anthem sounds like an apology letter set to music.
Canada's idea of influence is having 90% of their population living within 100 miles of the US border and constantly asking "hey what are you guys up to, eh?"
Edit: (Love you, Canada!)
Canada only exists today because it is America’s hat and the founding fathers drew a line way farther south than the British originally thought they would. You can actually find the map used by the British which showed just how much territory they were willing to give to America after the revolutionary war, it’s wild to think about.
This piqued my curiosity. It took some digging but I found what you're referring to - any other curious readers can search their favourite engine for the following:
"Oswalt red line map treaty of Paris"
There aren't many sources and none are particularly high quality, but it's certainly interesting.
