Fuckin' hate degens.
LOL! I believe the Quebecois along the St. Lawrence should be included.
Accurate.
It’s not my fault my parents had me in the lower mainland, what am I gonna do, move north?
Yes, but it’s on provincial governments to build new cities north with tax money from the south.
Huh so that's what the 401 looks like
As if I've traveled that much
85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the American border. And yous claim you don't want to be part of them.
*(runs and hides)*
Have you seen Canadians during war? I'll definitely pass on that, thanks.
Who are you running and hiding from?
The Canada goose.
If anything, this proves how much Canadians don't want to be Americans.
Canadian weather is shitty, you can't grow crops for most of the year. During the fraction of the year where the climate is suitable for growing crops, the variety of things that grow is small compared to what's possible in the US. And, as bad as winter can be, summer's no good either. You don't want to be outside in the winter because it's -30, and you don't want to be outside in the summer because it's +35. The cost of living in Canada is high because you need to heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. Almost everybody drives a car because of that "being outside sucks" thing, but cars are expensive to own and operate in Canada. There's the cost of winter tires, more expensive winter fuels, antifreeze in the windshield washer, plus the constant freeze/thaw cycle wrecks the road surfaces, which results in potholes, which results in more wear and tear on cars. In addition, to make driving safe they drop a lot of salt and sand, which just rusts your car. Because the country is a thin strip, everything is far away, and everything communications-related is expensive. And, a low population relative to the US means that a lot of companies just don't offer services in Canada because it isn't worth it to comply with Canadian laws just to get the same number of customers you could get from a single American state. I could keep going on and on.
Yet, despite all that, Canadians huddle up as close as possible to the border for warmth, but refuse to go any further south because that would mean entering the US. As bad as Canada's climate is, putting up with that is an easy decision to make when the alternative is 'Murica.
America isn't any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border
Not so fun fact: if American border patrol agents stop you within the 100 mile zone, they can ignore parts of the fourth amendment and perform what would normally be illegal search and seizure
Bold of you to think any part of the Constitution actually applies down here.
Well the exemptions to border patrol agents have been on the books for a lot longer than the current administration
FTFY
