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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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
Fair, I wouldn’t want us either
All of the north-eastern states would also like to be considered for annexation - even New Hampshire seems to be catching on.

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.
Inshallah America will be Canada
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.
You also cheat at curling, don't forget that one!
Please, Canada has apologized for Brian Adams several times...
👉
There is nothing more canadian than being smug about not being american.
As an American, this is totally fair.
I am so sorry for your disease. Get better soon.
Unfortunately it's terminal
If that's the case we'll take Vermont and Minnesota and you can have Alberta.
If we take Vermont Canada will control ALL the maple syrup. I see no downside

We don’t have to put a patch on our bags, people can tell because we are not loud and obnoxious.
There are apparently T-shirts which read “don’t shoot, I’m Canadian” in a number of languages (Arabic, Russian and Spanish, I think)
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?
Right? It was just… in the same place…. Horizontal through the middle… it was so stupid.
A bunch of moron Canadians will use the US flag thin blue line decal, makes zero sense
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.
Édits: damn autocorrect
...I'm not sure Quebec counts 🤔
It's pronounced Quebec...
You sure? I could have sworn that it's pronounced Quebec..
KEH . KEH . KEH - Bek.
Not KWUH.. jesus christ!
That's so embarrassing! I've always pronounced it with only one KEH rather than all three! What must people have thought!
Queue-bleach
Hardly any maple syrup outside of quebec. One of the few things that keep me here.
Dont have muCh of a choice if you want to mention Maple syrup.

"BC bud", is that how Canadians call their friend from British Columbia?
I'm not your buddy, friend
I'm not your friend, guy!
He's not your guy, pal!
Its talking about weed
no mention of poutine
the real drug
Poutine is Québécoise.
Now I'm craving some maple syrup poutine.
One day I will find out if all of this is true.
The part about it not being America is true for now...
Hockey, eh?
(Sorry to bring that up.)
where did u get this photo of me
Canada exports weed?
Gotta keep that sweet sweet maple for domestic use.
Don't listen to Kate, she's a marijuana extremist and is wanted for crimes against maple syrup.
🤔.... Fairly accurate.
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.
Pretty accurate tbh
That aboot covers it
She should have a prosthetic arm to represent Canada's contribution to space(orbit) exploration. /s
Prosthetic leg. C'mon, it's right there!
Unbelievably based
Yup. That all checks out.
Oui, bien-sûr.
