Today, my best friend called me a moron for disputing her belief that Canada is in South America. FML

Everyone knows Canada is in Europe ! Vive le Quebec libre !

Well, at least now you don't have to worry about finding the perfect gift for her next birthday. A nice atlas will do nicely I should think.

I can name most states and their capital cities in the US and I don't even live there. Yet most people in America can't even locate Canada on a map let alone know where it is.

I don't know if I agree with that. I think most (many?) people CAN actually locate Canada on a map, though they may not know the names of all the provinces (I only know Ontario, Toronto, Quebec, and Montreal, from memory)

To be called a moron in this situation... Oh the irony... Plus Google Maps could solve that question really quickly...

The worst part is, op is from Michigan, so I guess that the best friend is as well, and Canada is just across the lakes... (totally loosing faith in humanity here!)

Maybe your friend always kept her map upside down in goelogy class.

What you were trying to say was *geology. However, the class that would have taught her where Canada is would be Geography

Oh yeah, such as the Iraq and the South Africa and the Canada? Lol

Good name... It's the second largest country in the world how can it be missed?

***actually it's the LARGEST...if you think that Russia is first, you're wrong. Something to do with it being a federation or something like that! I was surprised as well!

I am going to point something out and not everyone is going to like it....... They recently did a study of the top education around the world. Out of 74 countries the US was ranked 23 for math and science and 17 for reading. The top 3 countries were South Korea, Finland and Canada. (They interchange with each other and Canada dropped in the math department down to 7) So in all honesty the guy who thinks Canada on located in the Southern Hemisphere was at a disadvantage. Maybe we need to start enforcing the completion of at least high school? (This goes for everywhere in 1st world countries)

You should make a large bet with her if you haven't proven her wrong already, losing a couple hundred bucks should make her value knowledge and research more than narcissistic arrogance.

That's just sad. But I would be happy if Canada split just east of Manitoba. The west would be better off.

*high fives* gotta agree with that! But I wish we were in South America, the weather here has been bad for so long now. :(

Oh boy ooooh boy what's happening to the people of today
