Why is it that I could name virtually every state on a US map, while probaby less than 10% of Americans could name 5 provinces.

Because honestly we don't care much about Canada.

I think there is a big difference between "caring" and just being a generally informed person. I don't see how you can have a country that borders you (especially if you are in a northern state) and not out of curiosity looked at a map of these huge provinces and had some clue of where they are and what they are called.
It would be like me in Edmonton not having an idea where Montana, Idaho, and Washington are. That is mind boggling.

Jesus, don't you get it? The US is important. Canada is NOT important. Why is that so hard to understand?

I guess I'm just a slow learner. Must be our inferior educational system.
