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.

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

    We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.

    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.

    I’ve seen a snowbird with a thin blue line Canadian flag sticker on their truck…. And salt life. Lol.

    So… maybe some of those are actually Canadians….

    How would a "blue line Canadian flag" work? Where do they put the blue line?

    There is nothing more canadian than being smug about not being american.

    The evil, slightly manic expression on Kate's face was what gave her away for me.

    Mostly accurate, Yes. I do pour Maple syrup on everything. Except the bud export is hard to quanrify, and i have a fleur de lys on my bag.

    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.

    "BC bud", is that how Canadians call their friend from British Columbia?

    One day I will find out if all of this is true.

    The part about it not being America is true for now...

    Don't listen to Kate, she's a marijuana extremist and is wanted for crimes against maple syrup.

    She should have a prosthetic arm to represent Canada's contribution to space(orbit) exploration. /s

    This is pretty offensive to America's hat, and almost their 51st state before the orange turd decided to start bullying Greenland. I recommend you apologize now, eh.
