What Jasper learned in this thread:

1. Greenland borders Canada (land masses <50km apart, active border dispute)

[ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Not a lot, but Greenland is a lot further away and not even in the same continent.


[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I never said it was a country, and technically it's in Europe because it is a territory of Denmark.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
But I think in the case of Greenland it's not really in North America or in Europe.

2. Helena is the capital of Montana

[ QUOTE ]
I'll guarantee you if it's a State capital I could pronounce it.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Because Helena is a hick town in Montana, while Regina is the capital of a province.

3. North America has more than 3 countries

[ QUOTE ]
North America has 3 countries.

4. The Prime Minister of Canada's name is: Stephen Harper

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks. I was going to use Steven Harper, but I'm only starting to despise him, and nobody really gives a [censored] about him and the country he "leads"

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I think I'd better quit while I'm behind. StePHen Harper.

5. Bonus Question, without looking it up, what is "Iqaluit"?

The second closest country to Canada is actually France. Look it up.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.

Next time, look it up in your gut.

New Brunswick
Manitoba
(I looked it up, I had about 8 my first try)


btw, what's the difference between Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan <sp>? Does anyone live there or is it just cattle country?

You might want to think about the significance of our long standing relationship as allies before your trash us. For many Americans, our Canadian cities and citizens provided a warm and welcoming home during a very difficult time for you folks in the US.

[/ QUOTE ]

so what? Its not like diplomatic ties are going to be severed because some of the citizens of America's hat got pwned in an online discussion forum. If by some chance you were personally responsible for Operation Yellow Ribbon, thanks a million!

If that would get me a green card I'd be all in favor. Who do I lobby for this?

[ QUOTE ]
It's amazing how much Americans overestimate their country's importance in the world. I'm not even going to attempt the fool's errand of convincing any Americans otherwise, but: our planet is a big [censored] place.

[/ QUOTE ]

so who is more important?

[/ QUOTE ]

China. That's it though.
