    Yes, we do have names like “Kate Wood” and BC bud is the shit. Maple syrup is more of an east coast thing, but we do enjoy it on our breakfast foods out west, and you can find maple flavoured anything at the store. We are definitely not America and never will be.

          If the US fell apart, I feel like the northeastern states would inevitably just coalesce into “Newer England” since they’re so ideologically and economically linked.

            Considering we were first colonized by Englishmen looking to escape England, and then took in a TON of Irish when the English were starving and oppressing them, perhaps we should call ourselves New Ireland instead - as one last jab at the English! LOL

      Decades ago I was a young backpacker and saw other folks with the maple leaf on their stuff. Went to chat and they admitted they were Americans who had sewn it on so people would be nice to them.

      I was simultaneously annoyed at them (I’d have been pissed but they did buy me an apology pint) and proud of Canada for the reputation.

    Try not to judge us too hard for this. We kicked Kate out for a reason (lighting up a fat joint in an elementary school classroom isn’t cool here). She’s got the rest right on, though.

      Yeah, the teachers always made sure to put out the joints before going back to class at my school. I still say that telling all the students there was a pet skunk in the teachers lounge that we weren’t allowed to see was cruel and unnecessary though.
