Oh... I agree... but you're talking about a message aimed at leaders.  They're the ones who push the denialist propapaganda without a care, because they believe that by the time the consequences of their short-sightedness have reached a point that the rich can't buy their way away from them, they'll long be dead.  Sadly, this is probably true. 

I'm talking about persuading your average Joe that there actually is a problem they should care about.  They buy the climate denial propaganda as a refutation of environmentalism in general, which saves them the trouble of having to care.  All they need is to be slapped in the face with a bunch of other reasons that, even if this one environmentalist issue is wrong, there are many others, and they can't afford to be willfully ignorant of them.

Funnily one of ours is the 'Northern Territory"  Because why not be creative with the names.

We at least have an excuse. It's a rump-state, in the past it basically covered everything north and west of the Great Lakes (including Northern Quebec and Ontario)

Hence the name.

Over time, provinces and other territories (The latest in 1999, Nunavut, land to give the native Inuit more of a say) were chopped out of it.

We also had a place called "Rupert's Land"

The British were not very imaginative.

There was a place in it called 'Moose Factory' which I think makes up for it.

Also known as "Where The Fuck Did All These Sand Flies Come From Territory" D:

I liked the NT, but that's because I generally respect places that are actively hostile to your continued existence. Especially when it goes from desert and salt pans to jungle and crocodiles with pretty much nothing in between.

My favourite is "Happy Valley-Goose Bay" in Labrador.

Hey, Canada. What the fuck. You're supposed to be the good guys.

* kaijyuu froths with rage.

Canada has gone rather crazy in recent years though.

[Glowcat]

You forgot the 'relatively' before good guys with an optional 'compared to the USA' after it. It's an easy mistake to make.

This is the same canada that just sold 97% of their federally owned waterways, has been cracking down on victimless crimes, has been experiencing rapidly inflating cronyism and government corruption, has bent over backwards to pass copyright law dictated by the media industries, etc and so on?

Canada was great once, but they seem pretty dedicated, imo, to ridding themselves of that pesky label.

Awww yeeeaahhh, time for the US and Canada to trade popularity on the world stage! Moving up in the world! Canadians will pretend to be American when they go to Europe! US politicians will deride loonybin Canadian politicians! Finally, America will be seen as the best North American nation!

Is it wrong that I can't wait to see angry young Canadians repeatedly threatening to move to America?

Go to British Columbia and you might see that right now. Mind you, this is more because of weed than anything else.

Franky, given the US comparitive conservatism, I'm surprised there aren't more.

Also, now Canada can finally take it's place as USA Lite.

[Owlbread]

I always saw Canada as USA Lite.
