What’s a “Canada?”

Happy Birthday to America’s hat.

Whither Canada?

Only the second largest country by landmass, home of 35 million people, and responsible for the greatest father figure of all time, Red Green.

Well, I mean Canada was formed after asking for permission from the British Empire. So it’s just a celebration for getting permission from the Brits isn’t it?

It worked, didn’t it? Although we only had four provinces onboard at first. The last province (Newfoundland) didn’t join until 1949.

If I acknowledge Canada Day can I move in?

Just an observation, if you’re saying the 35 million figure with the intent to impress you might want to consider that California alone has more people.

This is the second time now you’ve reminded me of the red green show. Gotta go “legally stream” that

Isn’t Canada just the remains of “New France”?

(Asked the guy that lives in part of what was New France..)

It’s a mythical frozen wasteland to the north populated by moose and beavers.

I used to watch that show, seriously.

Speaking as a non-American, that’s not as easy as it used to be. Post Trump, you guys have some of the unfriendliest immigration people around. They’re worse than Homeland Security.

Anybody would think you’re planning to build a wall .

We’re friendlier than California for the most part. Plus, more snow for hooning.

I mean, you could move in with Crazie Kanuck if you want.

It’s my favourite kind of trash television.

I’ve never had any problems, but I’m also Canadian. Whereabouts were you coming in from?

CB > Birddog 07/01/2017 at 02:58

New France plus English settlements and a whole lot of Aboriginal territory.

Northern Exposure is one of my all time favs, it’s Alaska but there are some Canadians in it.

Flying into Toronto from New York or Chicago. I do it maybe 2-3 times a year, and in the last 6 months I’ve noticed the attitude get a lot unfriendlier and the questioning more in depth. And I’m an NZ resident middle aged WASP on a Kiwi passport - they’ve got no reason to assume I’m a terrorist or a refugee

Meanwhile the opposite’s happened in the US: I never thought I’d say it, but LAX and IAH are quite nice airports to arrive at nowadays (if you’re not Middle Eastern or Latino, I assume).

Yeah, Pearson is a bit of a crapshoot. I’m sorry your experiences were like that. Hopefully next time will be better.

But the Commonwealth realms didn’t get independence, they got dominion (partial self-sovereignty but not full independence from the British Empire). It’s why Elizabeth II is the Queen of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand but she isn’t the Queen of the United States of America.

I mean, British Parliament still had authority to amend Canada’s constitution until 1982. That’s only 35 years ago.

We are. And Trump’s going to pay for it.

Maybe once or twice.

I’d let you move in, but I’m about to move myself.

I know, I just liked another northern show. Holling was Canadian on that show and talked about Canadian stuff sometimes.

If you like northern shows, I hear North of Sixty is a pretty good show.

 Never hward of it, I watch a lot of UK and a couple NZ AUS shows too. I’ll check it out, seen if I can get a download.
