I don’t think you’ve ever been west (or south for that matter, the USA is only a dystopia on TV) of Ontario, nobody much gives a shit either way. Eastern Bastards or Yankee bastards, same difference.

The version of the war of 1812 taught in the states is odd. Mostly focuses on the battle of New Orleans. The USA started the war as an attempt to invade and annex the Canadian British colonies in the east, and the war went so poorly they ended up (successfully, but still) defending Louisiana. Basically, if Napoleon hadn’t started doing Napoleon things, the USA may well have become British again,

People from both countries (and various European nations when they want to needle us, but mostly the English) have been calling Canada the 51st state for decades, this is nothing new.

And yet, look what happened in court, because he actually did nothing of the sort. Do you not understand anything about how the laws work or what happened there? (Don’t answer, that was rhetorical. “Rhetorical” means a question for conversational effect, not an actual request for an answer. The previous sentence contains condescension, and I’m just going to assume you need an definition for that also, as you seem to have no idea of what goes on at all.)

as a tourist, with no health insurance, full billing but it’ll be actual at cost, not the inflated number used down south for the hospital company and insurance companies to argue over. Broken leg, say, probably set you back 5000 Canadian depending. Similar to the states at final billing.
