Found this cool map:

Canada only has four lines, all of them on it's eastern seaboard; three from Nova Scotia; two connect to the UK and one connects with Ireland. The last one connects Newfoundland to Greenland (then Greenland to Iceland to Denmark) but that's it. I expected Vancouver to have one connecting to Japan but all of that traffic is routed through Seattle.
Bypass? They dont need to bypass the US they can make a straight connection. What they mean is ignore.
gonna post it here too:
canada is part of the five eyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

Hey, Canadians, are you still boycotting US alcohol?
I am
I think I've bought 3 bottles of alcohol since Trump was elected again and none were American, so yes? I don't think any American alcohol companies noticed, though.
I don't drink so.. Yes?
