Today I visited AmericaBlog.com where Canada's vote was a topic of conversation. In the course of reading people's comments on the story, I came across this:
Good for you, Canada! And to all the GLBT Americans here, keep fighting, guys and gals.There are a lot of us straight folk who would like OUR country to be as freakin' sensible as that beautiful land just north of us.
Celebrate, Canada, and keep setting a good example for your retarted southern cousin. Maybe someday it will get through to us.

...When I got to the part about "retarded southern cousin", I just had to laugh. Remember those maps that came out after the American election, with the "United States of Canada" and "Jesusland" on them? That, combined with the idea that Canada always has to be defined in terms of the United States (Homer Simpson's reference to Canada as "America, Jr.", for instance), prompted me to turn the tables a little bit and produce this. Enjoy. :)

Ha! Very good. :-)
Mexico must be the borderline mentally disturbed cousin, who can't figure out if she wants to be an enlightened democracy or a third-world dictatorship.
You know, actually, I was going to have Mexico in there as "CANADA DEL SUR", but two things stopped me... first of all, Mexico wasn't on the vector map I had of North America (strictly an Anglo version of the continent), and secondly, it started seeming gratuitous and watered down the joke I was making. So it's just as well. :)
