What exactly is Canada?

Have they’ve ever defined it themselves other that not America?

Most times I’ve seen them try, it turned into pure cringe.

They’re not even a real country anyway.”

Yes, after 150 years, loony libs are only able to define Canada as ‘not America’. Of course FWIW, the DOMINION of Canada was founded as a means to prevent the British North American colonies from being taken over by the most modern, well equipped and experienced army, let alone one of, it not the largest armies in the world (blue and grey combined). So, in a way, the libs are correct, excepting that after 150 years, they SHOULD be able to have come up with something different than ‘not being America’s, poutine, and ‘eh’ versus ‘huh’.

Since so few understand the history of this country, they are unable to explain the differences. Of course, with the biggest, loudest, most jingoistic (in a certain way) culture machine broadcasting 24/7, and Canadian radio and TV buying as much US broadcast ‘entertainment’ as it can, we are becoming more ‘American’ than ever! Given it is culture of ‘MTV’, (c)rap music, CNN, etc., it is the WORST of your culture that we are importing, NOT the benign things like Fox News.

As I am partaking of a BBQ, I have neither the time, nor the patience to examine the many subtle and not so subtle differences. I will enjoy my DOMINION Day (NOT Canada Day), since I am aware enough to know that the country I reside in is CANADA and I don’t need to be reminded of that fact on the 150th anniversary of the DOMINION of Canada!

Early good wishes to you and yours for a happy 4th of July!

Canada is or was British North America. For better or worse. It is more America than British these days. The french complicate things as usual. Very little hispanic influence like the US has. it occasionally makes the news in other parts of the world but for the most part is unmentioned and not in any ones conscious mind. Lots of land lakes and tundra.
