    85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the American border. And yous claim you don't want to be part of them.

    Have you seen Canadians during war? I'll definitely pass on that, thanks.

      America isn't any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border

      Not so fun fact: if American border patrol agents stop you within the 100 mile zone, they can ignore parts of the fourth amendment and perform what would normally be illegal search and seizure

      100 Mile Zone

      Bold of you to think any part of the Constitution actually applies down here.

          Yes, but it’s on provincial governments to build new cities north with tax money from the south.

            If I understand correctly based on a map and Wikipedia, the concept of "a lot of people" does not exist in North Dakota, though.

            I had never heard of the city of Bismarck, their state capital of more than 70 thousand inhabitants, a bit over 10% of the state's population. But, now I do. I also had not thought there can be a state capital with that little population. (And then this made me curious and I learned that in Germany the smallest state capital is Schwerin, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and it has about 98 000 inhabitants in a state of 1½ million inhabitants.)

            Trenton, NJ, the most densely populated state in America, only has 91k. This represents only 1% of the population, versus 10 in ND. I'm not sure how it is around the country, but of the capitals of NJ, NY, PA, none are amongst the most populated cities in the states. And I don't really care about the rest of the states (and I like Mass, but it doesn't fit my example), so that's that.

            You've certainly piqued my interest in regard to populations of capitals v. the states they represent.

            EDIT: And the first search result on the Google is from a Reddit post from seven years ago, listing 17 states in the US where the capitals are the most populated cities. With a map, because who doesn't like pictures?

            EDIT 2: I'll just take this opportunity to spout some nonsense I like to spout: NYC (at least Manhattan, but maybe even out to Montauk, but of course excluding garbage ass Staten Island) and Philadelphia should be part of NJ, as they have more in common with NJ than they do their own states. Upstate NY and pretty much the entirety of PA are rural hick people. And sure there's some exclusions, Pittsburgh, the finger lakes, Rochester, but for the most part, rural hick people.

              I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.

              Why do the straights count?

              Because they want more jurisdiction and got it.

                  Snow plows for roads exist and often just run and run and run to keep roads open.

                  This is the counter to your whole point my guy.

                  It’s will not ability

                  Which is very expensive, but necessary because of the shitty climate. What's your point?

                    LOL! I believe the Quebecois along the St. Lawrence should be included.

                        Well the exemptions to border patrol agents have been on the books for a lot longer than the current administration
