Seriously... Just because you haven't noticed something before and Geography isn't your strong point it doesn't mean there's been a 'timeshift'.
As an undergraduate studying physics I'm fascinated by and more than open to the ideas of multiple universes and time travel, however lack of geographical skills does not constitute as an indication a 'timeshift' in your sci-fi context.

So, because someone who isn't clued up on geography notices something they haven't seen before, rather than acknowledge you didn't know everything, it is instead the result of a "timeshift" and the earth has just randomly reconfigured itself with new islands and moved borders...
Ok, seems like a logical conclusion to follow. After all, I am sure that I should be a billionaire and have a harem of nubile women to satisfy my every desire, but I don't. This too must be the result of a timeshift. It all makes sense now!

I have been looking at that exact map link since the Australia thread started, and i have never seen Canada look like that.
Bad geography my ass.

I also remember Texas being the biggest US state, but its apparently always been Alaska.
You chalk it up to bad memory, but all im saying is that it might be something else.
Apparently theres a 100 page long thread with a lot of people who share my belief. Im just pointing out another weird thing i noticed recently.
