What would make Canada even better is a new Dominion Lands Act, **** the greenies and their national parks! I want to settle down near the rockies.

We are already "Americans," it is only USian imperialist tendencies that enable your people to claim two continents as your national identity. Secondly, my legal status here is "non-resident alien," which is dehumanizing and reminds me of my foreignness by the day, moreso than when I get laughed at by Panera cashiers for asking for the "washroom" code :mad:

It's an absolutely beautiful country, and I wish I could have seen more of it (I have yet to travel outside of Ontario and Quebec). I've had a cross-country road trip on my bucket list for some time, and it's apparently doable in 2 weeks on 400km of driving a day.
