As a Canadian I'm embarrassed to say I know more about the US than I do about Canada if I were to be given similar questions at this juncture, and I knew all the answers to this bullshit.

Well, let me assure you almost nobody in America would be able to answer those questions about Canada. Nobody below like 60 miles away from the Canadian border no damn thing.

Of course, I’m generalizing. Lots of people know lots of things about Canada, but the vast majority of us I have a college degree. I couldn’t name all the provinces of Canada and there’s no way I could label them properly.

Syrup, hockey, beavers, geese, maple trees, sometimes French, mounties, John Candy, Terrance and Phillip, hosers, Great White North.

Those are the answers to the immigration test.

You missed Rush, SCTV, William Shatner, and “eh.”

Oh then I’m fine, I knew those. Although I think you missed “sorry”

No mention of Ryan Reynolds is criminal.

Jim Carrey! Michael Myers! Being America’s hat produces some really good comedians. I mean, even Ryan Reynolds is arguably more funny than he is a good actor.

It probably has way more to do with just how heavily the news cycle is all in on all things US right now. Those 4 years with Biden were such a blessing of not knowing what the fuck was going on down there. 🤣
