Im speechless right now.I had this exact conversation last week with my birth mother.Put it down to me being crazy or something.Something strange about this.

I'm speechless right now......




really, to think that Canada has gotten bigger.


Canada is HUGE

I don't know if you should have to make a thread about this.....


Can't you just share it with your psychiatrist ??


haha, yep Canada's always been there, It's pretty big too, hard to misplace.

Then again we had some members who thought Australia was out of place too, ... go figure.

Canada is the second largest country in the world behind Russia, and always has been, since it's formation that is.

Errrrr....

What?

Canada has ALWAYS been on the same continent as the USA.

And you've only just realised you can drive from Russia to China? How old are you?

What next?

The UK is seperated from Europe by a channel of water?

Sweden is cold?

South Africa is at the bottom fo the continent, not the top?

I even have a faint memory of drawing a world map when I was younger and giving Canada it's own continent.
I think I originally saw it at school on one of those world globes when I was about 9.

Well...Okay. Canada has always been a part of North America since I have been around and thats not an island west of Alaska...that would be part of the Russian Federation or at least what use to be the Russian Federation.

Since you are from New Zealand maybe you can help clear that up...always been SE of the land down under or not?

I soooo know Canada had its own Continent.Even asked my freinds who think the same.A time line collapse must be thrown into the ring,it makes sense.

Canada has ALWAYS been a part of the American Continent. It has never been it's own continent....

You do realize their are only 7 continents right? Not 8?

One of the best ways (and certainly most enjoyable) to learn geography is to play strategy/historical simulation war games. RISK, Axis and Allies, and especially the old Avalon Hill Board Games are all excellent sources of tweaking your geographical knowledge.

Canada is a country, not a continent. North America is a continent. Russia and China do share a border and it has been the source of past strife. Please, keep an atlas in the john and when you go to the toilet, study the atlas instead of that wornout issue of Sports Illustrated swimsuits you keep in there.

Hello there.

You may want to consider getting a brain scan of some sort if you've got health insurance. It could be just a faulty memory, but that's sort of a big one.

Canada was never a continent.....?

am I missing something here.

Perhaps you mistook Greenland for Canada when you were younger, and figured Canada was a part of the US, as it's sort of bracketed by Alaska. Keep in mind that on a mercator projection Greenland looks huge.

I used to think NZ was northeast of Australia, but now I know I was thinking of Papua New Guinea
