What is it that Canadian representatives have tried to demonstrate to the NATO with this map?

    That the people in these areas all support the expansion of Canada into Washington?

    That these areas have the highest populations?

    They look sort of like territory overlays — could Canada be demonstrating the size of their country compared to others? The little blob at the bottom right looks sort of like Australia.

      Yes, these are territory overlays for sure. 🙂 And it is about territorial expansion. . .

        Are these perhaps all territories of native peoples?

            Hm. Perhaps…is this a territorial overlay of Russian occupation? I’m sorry, I’m horrible with geographic profiles.

              Yay! You win! These are the territories Russia has annexed from Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova in recent years.

              Good job!!

          There’s one of those in development:

          For what it’s worth, I thought initially the map was of places in BC that are currently experiencing wildfires. Then I saw it expanded across the Salish Sea and felt stupid.

            Hey, the stupid people are those who keep invading, not you or me.

        This doesn’t have anything to do with the “Not Russia” map, does it?

          It has to do with Russia, for sure. What’s the Not Russia map?

    On the small chance you’ve never seen it, here’s the video of “What Fits into Russia” from Canada’s (maybe the world’s) greatest comedy show ever, Second City TV.

    It’s like that Arrogant Worms song about Canada being the second largest country in the world:
    “And if Russia/Keeps on shrinking…/Then soon we’ll be first!/(As long as we keep Quebec)!”
