Canada is, surprisingly enough, not part of America.
We're not America's hat - you're Canada's asshole. /s
Just because we do our best here in Canada to not be like our American cousins .... it doesn't mean that a good number of us think, act and believe like our southern relatives.
Honestly, I live in northern Ontario where we shouldn't have so much American influence but it's so strange to meet and talk to outright Trump supporters with 'Let's Go Brandon' stickers, don't trend on me and Confederate flags. It's especially strange when some back woods people I know barely have any knowledge of Canadian politics but enjoy mentioning their second amendment rights and the right to bear arms (both of which is an American thing and not part of Canadian history)
Remove the /s and you’re right.
Be a man ;)
We’re grateful for the Canadarm too. A tip o’ America’s hat for that program.
Canada is the younger brother of the United States of America.... you do everything with an eye on them... And this is not a surprise to anyone
If you are going by approximate anatomy, Canada's asshole would probably be the Panama Canal. Y'all poop boats.
Hey we're both the assholes of the world, there's enough room for two on this throne
Big love to our northern brothers across the border! That said, we can't be ~just~ y'all's asshole. You're forgetting that we got the perfect dangling phallus of Florida that cannot be ignored (despite our best efforts.)
Nice to hear from Europe-America in this thread.
Now go play with Exotic-America and his juguetes in the corner and let the real countries talk.
