    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.

      We are definitely not America and never will be.

      In fact, could you do the opposite and annex Minnesota? Please?

        Nah, you guys should form your own country though. We’d prefer to not adopt your MAGAs and even your left (American left) wing is concerning

        All of the north-eastern states would also like to be considered for annexation - even New Hampshire seems to be catching on.

        Sincerely, a Masshole.

          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

      I dunno’, I hear disturbing news from Alberta sometimes, and that whole trucker protest thing was pretty American…

      While Canada will likely always be better than the US, don’t be the frog in boiling water.

      I don’t eat that fake maple syrup. I can’t tolerate the taste. But I need to stock up on some ketchup chips at some point.
