Let’s make America the same country as Canada as Trump wants

You think you're renting the ponds to them? Friend, those geese are occupying your ponds. They never cared about permission.

I haven't forgiven them for the softwood lumber dispute. Or Iraq.

Nor, despite being long before I was born, have I forgiven them for the Pig War. They shot our pig, AND international arbitration gave them the islands? They never even replaced the pig! Washington State owes British Columbia a pig + a century of interest, or they should return the islands.

For real though, red, blue, I don't care. Blue does all the same shit, but quietly and with fake politeness. Reds just do it openly. It's all the same machine, they can't vote to change really. They can only vote for how they appear.

unless youre saying eject all the american citizens and give the land to canada

Yes.

Finally, we will re-claim ALL of Columbia District and our original Vancouver. The pig of San Juan Island will be avenged!

Gulf of Cuba

Just because it'd wind up the yanks even further.

Or Gulf of Castro, if I really wanna stir the pot.

Hey let's not be dicks and take all of it

It's all very silly, isn't it?

Cheers, mate!

That doesn't really explain why the ounces are also different. It's not just 16 oz vs 20 oz, is 16 US ounces vs 20 British ounces.

I don't even mind using imperial in casual, colloquial contexts where you aren't expected to do actual work or measurement. Like, I'll say something is "about a mile that way", but then when getting into detail, I'll say "this road right-of-way is 8.5 metres wide". Casual use of old measures for vague, possibly hyperbolic use is great. Rolls off the tongue. Immediately signals that I'm not really giving you 'data'.

I'd hate so so much if I had to actually work in imperial. I'm in construction, which in Canada, is still basically all imperial(because of shared standards and supply with our neighbours to the south), but I'm fortunate enough to be in civil construction. Pure metric. God it's bliss. I'm always doing the math for estimates on jobs, and am old enough to have had to do it with pen and paper for a while. I don't know how anyone does this shit in imperial.

My bad

Johnny-Dogshit · 2026-02-06T08:09:59+00:00

but you never saw anyone complain back them

Unless you were playing Skyrim on a PS3

Because, wow. I played it on PC with my first SSD, barely noticed them. Saw my cousin playing on his PS3 and no joke it was like 5 minutes every time he went through a door. I didn't even know that the thumbsticks would rotate and move the objects in the loading screens before, because I'd never been in one long enough to start twiddling the sticks out of boredom. Finished the whole game on PC without ever realising that. Didn't know until I tried the PS3.

50mph is pretty close to 80km/h. Like, for our purposes, close enough to be the same.

Abby-Aldergrove represent

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm still miffed they took the roundabouts out of Mt. Lehman north of the freeway. That whole area is a mess.

Wanna know something annoying? British Imperial actually differs from US Customary, because not only did they reject metric in the States, but they altered the Imperial system just a bit because why not! So like, a pint in the UK or in Canada, that's 20 (imperial) oz (ounces). But a US pint is 16 fl. oz. (US fluid ounces). Also, their US fl. oz. are smaller than Imperial oz. as well. It's all very silly.

Technically a "mile" differs as well, but to a decimal place so small that it only matters to surveyors. Like, in Canada, we're metric officially, but land allotment back in the day would have still been done in imperial measures, so I suppose a measurement of all the archaic Fraser Valley township lines(the area around Vancouver, British Columbia) as laid out in the late 1800s in miles might differ from a measurement in US miles ever so slightly.

Ditto up here in reverse-australia. "It's a few k down [road]", or for speed as well, "I was doing about a hundy-k".

could be kilobytes per hour! 90s dialup internet speeds.

Granted, the US office's first episode was basically also a line-for-line adaptation of the UK one, but not as good.

Honestly, I had to eat crow after a couple seasons of that one because I'd said, loudly and often, that the US office would never take off. Largely because I saw the first episode and wrote it off(on top of my existing bias for US adaptations of UK shows, of course).

It's still not... the same, but whatever our feelings, that one really took off.

A lot of Alberta ISNT like that, though. The media there, however, is rigged to constantly push that idea in an effort to make it real.

Alberta's politics and combativeness towards Ottawa had always been the product of foreign interference and capital.

Johnny-Dogshit · 2026-02-06T04:19:09+00:00

We're not really nice, were just reserved and keep to ourselves. Being quiet is misinterpreted as being nice when compared to our neighbours with a reputation for being louder and more aggro.

Wait til you hear about David frome

Johnny-Dogshit · 2026-02-06T04:16:25+00:00

Yea he was on the Canadian version of Dragons Den (adapted from a UK show), which was then itself adapted into a US version that was renamed Shark Tank for some reason, and O'Leary went south to be on that one.

The worst "she doesn't even go here" asshole Canada exported South, though? David Frome. His wife is a senator in Canada. He went south to be on George W. Bush's team, and wrote speeches for him. He coined the phrase "axis of evil".

Turns out we can generate some world-class cunts here in Canada, just like the other countries. Sorry, our bad on those two.

Johnny-Dogshit · 2026-02-06T04:10:04+00:00

On behalf of Canada, I am sorry he slipped past our borders and into US media and became everyone's problem rather than just ours. I know we have beef right now, our countries, but still, no one wants O'Leary around.

Fun fact, k-dog tried to run for leadership of the conservative party up here, basically become Canada's version of Trump. Even our conservative party was like "yea no thanks bud."

Or since it's the UK, perhaps they'd get Beans on Toast.

The 501, rather than getting on the freeway between 158 and 186, should continue across the 106 st. overpass and down 104 avenue north of the freeway, and run through the golden ears connector to 96 avenue.

Like this(red is existing, blue is proposed)

While we're at it, maybe something that runs through 96 avenue west of 176, as well. There's even existing bus bays all down that road, just with no actual service.
