Population of USA in units of Canada
(startrek.website)
Jeez. Americans will use anything but metric.
Canada's metric. Close enough in much the same way that beef is vegetarian because cows eat grass.
This is the best combination of funny/mindfuck I’ve seen in a while. Well done!
I didn't realize so many people lived up in the northeast
Yes, the majority of the population in the US is in the northeast, that's why people hate the electoral college system. It gives a significant amount of power to a majority voting minority. A better way to represent a minority would be a ranked choice system.
Electoral college vs ranked choice voting is a false dichotomy. You can do one, the other, both, or neither.
The way to eliminating the electoral college, since it is enshrined in the constitution, is either a constitutional amendment changing to a popular vote method (highly unlikely), or the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
And both ways involve the states that benefit from the disproportionate power choosing to give it up.
Yeah I didn't say it was ever gonna happen unfortunately, I'm just saying it SHOULD happen
Well when you are settling east to west some people don't like taking super long dangerous trips
I didn't realize so few people lived in the Northwest. I thought Seattle was bigger than that
that yellow space has pretty much all the empty space all the way into minnesota. it's all big rocks, missile silos, and prairie dogs.
It's big, not huge, but there's not a lot of other big cities out west. In terms of metro area population, it falls right in between Detroit and Minneapolis.
Americans won’t understand this because our population is measured in metric
I like how because it's units of Canadas, it's an even 10 parts.
I didn’t catch that at first. Makes it even better!
deca-canuck
Great units, eh!
Slaps US-Canada border
This bad boy can fit so many fucking Canadas in it
We've got: New England Canada, North Atlantic Canada, Mid Atlantic Canada, Florida Canada, Gulf Coast Canada, Rust Belt Canada, Midwest Canada, Southern Canada, California Canada, and All The Rest Canada.
Plus we can technically fit more in the super north Canada and Island Canada
