That's really funny and really sad at the same time.

Most Canadians know all US states, and I'm fairly certain I can match 95% of state postal abbreviations to their corresponding state (save for the ones starting with M, good luck lol). I'd like to see Americans try to put the huge landmass that is Manitoba (MB) on a map 😄

I don't think I've ever been confused between what's Mexico and what's USA, and I feel like uneducated racist people may just be going off of the name, like Nevada / Arizona being spanish names and New Mexico referencing Mexico.

SOAD's "Deer Dance" plays in my head a little too often these days.

Freedom from religion comes with freedom of religion in Canada.

Honestly this would most likely work very well as advertising, and generate a lot of free publicity around the unconventionality of it all.

Absolutely, and being repeatedly reminded to get your COVID or measles shots is "positive" propaganda. Herd immunity is objectively a good thing, but any sort of PSA is propaganda. (please get your shots)

It's like the word "consequence", people always think consequences are always bad, when you could say "I got rich as a consequence of winning the lottery", or, re-worded, "I won the lottery, and consequently, I became rich".

Bref, if you are not immune to positive propaganda, you are also not immune to negative propaganda.

It is definitely propaganda against propaganda, everything is propaganda.

There's "good" propaganda and "bad" propaganda, and whether you think any propaganda is "good" or "bad' is propaganda in itself just by sharing such an opinion.
