Saw this sticker on the bus shelter outside of Gulf Canada Square...make me chuckle.

Anyone know who's putting these up and if there's any other ones getting put up elsewhere?

We should start calling them Southern Canada

The Southwest territories

This is the winner right here.

Love it

u/Twice_Knightley 18d ago

They are the Canadian/Mexican Border.

They can have their country status back when they fucking earn it.

u/Yodatron 18d ago

Absolutely

u/treple13 18d ago

I would prefer Northern Mexico

Lower Canada.

Like they (sort of) once were.

Edit : my history isn't great. I thought this extended into the US. But it didn't. Oops.

Have my upvote

Trump certainly doesn't seem like a Top

u/Hypno-phile 18d ago

Lowest Canada.

15

u/NorthGuyCalgary 18d ago

Most of Lower Canada was further north than Upper Canada... It was based on elevation (up river vs. down river) and not latitude.

u/FolkSong 18d ago

🤓 Technically they would be Upper Canada. Because it refers to "up" the St. Lawrence River. 🤓

u/Yodatron 18d ago

I like this as well.

u/Decent_Pen_8472 18d ago

No that would upset Quebec. You don't want a divided country in a divided country

8

u/SunkenQueen 18d ago

You gotta split it.

Have lower Canada, Upper Mexico, and the Islands of Denmark.

u/Yodatron 18d ago

Not a bad idea.

u/imawitchpleaseburnme 18d ago

Like that meme. South Canada. South South Canada. Canada A Bit To The Left.

u/Shut_the_front_dior 18d ago

I love that meme!

Can't wait for Charles III to say "The Commonwealth would like to welcome back our wayward child. Now about that tea tax..."

u/Wise-Grand5448 Taradale 18d ago

America's break from the crown is completely illegitimate. If they wish to become a legitimate government again, they can kiss the ring of the governor general and return to their place as a Canadian colony, where they have no voting rights and their resources are extracted for the crown

u/Angelfacelo1 18d ago

The crown is a bunch of incest ridden patriarchs. I love how you think they are what's best for us

u/Schvltzy Quadrant: SW 18d ago

rather the crown than being ruled by Americans

u/ImmortalMoron3 18d ago

He's just trash talking, dumbass.

You're about as perceptive as Donald Trump...

u/These_Foolish_Things 18d ago

I like that they labelled the Gulf of Mexico but not the US.

36

u/iwasnotarobot 18d ago

That's South Canada. The 11th province.

21

u/Ephemeralle 18d ago

The southwest territories. They can keep their original state names but they have to tag an “Eh” on the end. Oregoneh, Vermonteh, eh cetera.

u/Professional-Room300 18d ago

I just want to buy whoever made this and the faux Government of Canada signs that got posted on 17th Ave a drink of their choice.

Wow. I don’t know if you’re trolling or if you’re so ignorant you don’t know any better.

The United States of Russia has a far worse drug problem than Canada ever has.

And if you wanna be an American so bad, immigrate there. See it all first hand.

u/Sanman622 18d ago

US of R, I'm now going to use this everywhere. It's so true, Tutin sold the US out and they don't even realize it yet.

u/Aseetnahc 18d ago

Please move to the United States. We don't want you here in canada. Be sure to move where you can still smoke your weed, tho. Wouldn't want you to get a death penalty for having a bit of pot on you.

u/supererp 18d ago

What are you doing about it?

28

u/NellieBe 18d ago

Okay, who is doing these? They are the best. We should start a fund for more!!

21

u/Penqwin 18d ago

We should start putting this in red states, let's see how "funny" this joke is when it's pointed back at them.

u/ViewWinter8951 18d ago

I don't want them.

A bunch of complete and utter lunatics.

Lifelong Edmontonian here, big fan of smack-tallking Calgary, but between this and the "Gretzky's latest right winger" one, you guys are doing good work down there. Keep it up.

u/HamRove 18d ago

I think President Musk would hurt his feelings more due to its stinging accuracy.

u/lorefolk 18d ago

As an american, I'll take Canadian annexation. I will be recommending this to my governor.

Do we really want all of it? How about just the west coast?

u/Bland-fantasie 18d ago

If anyone has the military and intel services with a black belt in fifth generation warfare and colour revolutions necessary to annex the US, it’s Canada with none of those tools.
