How many illegal occupiers live in that stretch of BC coast improperly claimed by the US?

Spotted another issue

I generally imagine PEI as being more, I don't know, islandy.

I'm glad to see that Newfoundland and Labrador's finally finished filling in Ungava Bay - I thought that project would be dragging on forever. Or does that land properly revert to Nunavik, now that it's land?

I also note that by "percent" zie isn't talking about anything actually relevant, like area or population: Nunavut is way more than 7.6% of the area, and way less than 7.6% of the population. (No, I haven't been there, I just wanted to see the output.)

Ontario, BC, Quebec, etc. also aren't countries.

(No matter how much some in Quebec want to change this.)

What are you complaining about, they names a whole new section of Canadia after you: Jamesland.

ANd it seems they ceded part of Quebec to Labrador. And what of the territories?

I always feel triumphant when someone not from the US displays a horrible knowledge of geography (the gentleman who wrote this is from the Netherlands) because the stereotype that only people from the US suck at geography is so profound. (And untrue--almost everyone sucks at geography, and in fact people from Mexico suck even worse at it than we USericans do.)
