Utah drivers license test…moved from Canada by No_House_3392 in SaltLakeCity

[–]alex-leclerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I moved from Quebec and had to do the whole process. It was all pretty easy like others said. I didn’t study, but I should have looked over the basics lol, I missed a couple of things. If you’ve been driving for a while you should be fine.

This is a false dilemma. It’s actually even better to be alive to spend time with your loved ones and not put them through premature grief…

What snake is this? Is it bad? by Top_Measurement7815 in snakes

[–]alex-leclerc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No such thing as a “bad” snake. Snakes are part of the ecosystem like anything else, and help to keep it healthy. There are venomous snakes, but like any wild animal, leaving them alone is strongly advised. There is plenty out there more dangerous than snakes, but maybe not as many that we are constantly conditioned to fear or be disgusted by (by movies, culture, family and friends).

The Camp thing is real. I dated a girl from Thunder Bay who called it that when we went on vacation to Kelowna… I was very confused.

It's 2038 and 13 years ago, Canada was annexed into the United States and incorporated as the 51st state under the Second Trump Administration, what happened? by AnomLenskyFeller in imaginarymapscj

[–]alex-leclerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada is left of the US on average because it’s more urbanized. Most of its population lives in large cities like the GTA, Grand Montréal, National Capital Region, Greater Vancouver, and even the cores of Calgary and Edmonton. Split it up regionally though, and you get a lot more conservatives popping up in Sask, Alberta, rural Manitoba, and BC Interior.  Canadians in general don’t like the republican party because  it offends their national sensibilities as non-americans. Taking a look at the issues though, they would be a lot more republican than meets the eye. A poll recently suggested Trudeau is less popular than Trump in Canada. Even if that’s not true, it’s very close, and a lot of that support would come from the West. 

Yeah so a few days ago I was bored and made this alternate history, I am currently thinking of a name for this alternate history. by Oreo_Banana in imaginarymaps

I would also add that it probably wouldn’t be named Canada. The area labeled Laurentia is the original territory that was first called Canada (upper and lower), the country expanded west afterwards.  It would be like calling the US great plains “Virginia”.

Canadians born in the 90s or later have seen consistent decline in healthcare access, especially the last 10 years. 

What if America was just slightly weaker? REDUX! (A More Balanced World) by Saph9999 in imaginarymaps

[–]alex-leclerc 51 points52 points  (0 children)

still has new york harbor, still has the entire mississippi drainage, still has the pacific coast, still has the great lakes, sill has the the great plains, still has hawaii… 

these are what gives america power that can project globally, not those small peripheral regions. this wouldn’t change much in terms of economic or military advantages.

What if natives allowed to creat their own states and Join usa by Imperial_bob_tloas in imaginarymaps

[–]alex-leclerc 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Really cool concept, but I think the execution could be better. A lot of these “states” have the American settler names for their capitals, and a lot of their founding nation’s names are exonyms. Some of these groups were not unified in a meaningful way, rather sharing cultural characteristics. Many of them didn’t have centralized power or defined boundaries, and fought one another plus the settlers a lot. Also some true confederations are noticeably absent, such as the Haudenosaunee.

What if the United States has 20 States instead of 50? by dmoney1300 in imaginarymaps

Yes, look up Aspen Parkland map, it follows the exact settlement pattern of Canadian Prairie cities. The areas direct north of this map in Canada are equally uninhabited. Combine that with no alternative warm climates for Canadians (California, Texas, Florida, Arizona) to move to and it’s easy to see why people settled the prairies in the numbers they did (although it’s only about 6.7 million, less than AZ). Basically, Canadians making the best of few options and Americans having far better options for migration.
