Something that is not real.
"Daddy, theres a monster under my bed."
"Jimmy, it's just like Canada- Not real."
"But we are Canadian."
"Shhh."
That part of America that just couldn’t be bothered to tag along when we rebelled against the British. After this, America and Britain fought over this land on numerous occasions (Maine border disputes, lake of the Woods map mistake, 54’40 or fight) yet Britain still held on to it for 200 years. Unlike America, Canadian independence was a gradual process, not an immediate one. It was granted increased autonomy and full independence in 1982.
America and Canada should never have been separated. Culturally we are very similar, we are located on the same continent, and unlike America’s southern border, all you’ll find dividing America and Canada are painted lines on roads, flower pots, and the border runs right through a few towns. Stark contrast to America’s southern border, just proves US and Canada are alike enough to trust each other.
The colder version of America. Where we have pet polar bears and sleep in igloos.
"wait... Is Canada even real?"
-an American
A country that is large, good-looking, and bloody well cold. The citizens of that country are constantly apologizing, and tobaggoning, and going to Tim Hortens, and playing hockey, and saying "Eh".
