@@PaulB-17 Australia is smaller than Brazil tho... Our issue is not being far from other countries, but being far from itself (Northern Brazil is far from South Brazil that's far from west and east).
Somehow we went from Brazil and Canada to the Caboose Bar in Tennessee to talking about stupid American borders ( and being a resident of Maryland I can give you and official pass on that) to Brunei and Indonesia. It's almost like a fever dream.
Toycat's brain works like a horse on a treadmill that's crazyglued to the roof of a merry-go-round flying in space at 0.6 times the speed of crayons in a vacuum launched by a F1 race car driving off the take-off ramp of an italian military aircraft carrier.
Possible fun fact, part of the reason the maine boarder is weird, is when drawing out the map they were following a river, but started following the wrong river, so from there they just went southwest in a line until they decided it was good. Not sure how true this is, but heard it in class a while ago and it makes sense.
that seems pretty true to me. i checked and the st john river is the border in one spot, but then they started following other rivers and some lakes, and then it goes straight lines until its back to the st john river.
I need 4h by car heading every direction just to leave my state, and at least 20h (closest point) to reach another country (Paraguay) by car. It's actually crazy.
20:50 This actually happened! Before Nova Scotia was Nova Scotia, it was part of Acadia, a french colony similar to Quebec. When the british and the french fought in 1755, the british left Quebec nominally French but forcefully evicted large amounts of french speaking Acadians out of present day Nova Scotia and settled their own english and scottish there instead. These Acadians moved in mass to Louisiana among other places, and their culture began to morph into what was first called Acadjun and eventually Cajun culture.
And that's how Acadia National Park was named. If you didn't know, Acadia National Park is one of the main reasons why people go to Maine. It's a big tourist destination. Maine is very close to Nova Scotia.
Thank you for mentioning this! I'm from Quebec and had a really good Acadian friend (from the French part of New Brunswick). They still live on, but to much less extent than what could have been.
Northern Maine has towns where people fly the Canadian flag but not because they're loyalists or something but because they're french speakers. Maine fought a war for that territory, not the US, just Maine. 1 person died, of pneumonia. The Aroostook War.
It's difficult for this older person who knows a lot of history (and has seen a bit as well) to find these things strange or surprising. But kudos for the title topic; it *is* pretty cool that Brazil's northernmost point is closer to Canada than to Brazil's southernmost point.
When the islands are spread over the distance, Indonesia is one of the largest countries in the world. It also has a large population. It spans the width of the North American Continent.
Hey toycat, there is some real interesting stuff happening with socotra, the UAE and Saudi Arabia right now which might make for an interesting video:) Specifically the latter ones are dumping piles of cash on the poor yemeni archipelago having basically bought the loyalties of the population allready. Also the UAE are paying the salaries of local officials and are building up infrastructure specifically geared to tourism. Seems to me like they are eying a referendum in the future to maybe annex the place. Also did I mention that the UAE is reportedly building a military base there with israeli assistance? And that the archipelago sits at a strategic point?
Its funny you mention kicking out the Nova Scotians, but that's what the British did in the mid 18th century where they kicked out the Acadians (OG French speaking community distinct from Quebecois French Canadians) and resettled the land with British or Anglo Canadian farmers.
You EXACTLY remind me of what I sometimes put my dad through. Rambling on and on about crazy geographical and historical facts, linking them together and finding interesting connections, and often randomly switching gears altogether. Guess I'm not the only one!
The Original Canada was Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Southern Ontario, Southern Quebec. Everything else was added later. Nova Scotia would have been about 10% of Canada's land area back then.
A good thing to point is that the world is round, and not flat like the mercartor projection. So the parts of canada that are in the eastern side, are much closer to South America than the parts that are in the western side. Much cloeser than it apears in the mercartor map at least. That's mostly why Nova Scotia is closer to northern Brazil than Southern Brazil. Besides that, Brazil is much more huge than it looks in the mercartor projection too. Bigger than the continental USA for exemple.
My question about St. Pierre isn't "Why is this bit of France over here?" but rather "Why does this not share a time zone with Newfoundland (or even France)?"
nearly all the population is right on the border and the parts that aren't in west canada live in very flat terrain. not to mention the insane size of the us military compared to the canadian one. the only parts that could hold out for any significant time are probably mountain people in the rockies
I just got finished watching your livestream. And at the end you said that you made a video on your second channel. Omg I’ve never actually looked at what this channel is all about, THIS IS AWESOME! great video! (Subscribed)
"Nova Scotia is not what you picture when you picture Canada. If you do picture it when you picture Camada, you're doing it wrong, probably." No... That's doing it right, actually, just maybe more right than is normal.
It's odd to call WW2 the "arguable" bad thing. WW1 is much, much, more arguable. It's one of those funny things in history class, where, from our modern perspective (or at least a modern American perspective), it looks really absurd to blame WW1 entirely on Germany* and it seems very obviously to be the victorious countries just "blaming" the looser because they won and so got to decide, and obviously they didn't want to pay for it, they were happy to get rid of a geopolitical rival, and basically they were just getting their "spoils of war" from Germany.** *Actually, the only reason the Austrohungarian and Ottoman empires didn't have to pay for the war was because they were completely dissolved. I think people sometimes forget that and it makes blaming Germany look a little less absurd when you realize they're actually just blamed ALL the central powers. **And the Ottomon Empire, which allied powers basically took over parts of.
Just did a quick measure on my own and find that one corner of my house in 40 meters from my neighbors house and 30 meters from the other corner of my house. Mind blown 🤯
If you picture Nova Scotia (one of the founding provinces of Canada, the Nova Scotia accent is the most globally recognized as the "Canadian accent", Canada's most notable television shows and movies originating from Nova Scotia for example trailer park boys, as well as one of the first parts of Canada to be originally colonised by the British) when you picture Canada, apparently that's wrong. Just as wrong as picturing England when you picture Britain. Bit of a daft remark toycat but I suppose we can overlook it.
12:45 IIRC for things like some part of a building being in a different state, I believe the state it's in is considered to be where the mailbox is (could be wrong, but I think that's how it works in the US)
it's pretty rare and I've never heard of it myself so take what I say with grain of salt but my guess is that both states would want taxes from you so you would end up paying taxes to both and having a split lot. and it also really can change a lot depending on which two states it's sitting in. as for the mail box thing if you have a split lot then there would be two addresses so i guess pick which state you wanna claim to live in and pay your income taxes to (if applicable)?
Another interesting thing: Maine and Ireland are roughly the same size in height and width. Though Maine has a population of about 1.4 million v. Ireland's 6.9 million islandwide.
About Newfoundland I'm told we had 3 options after WW2. to join Canada, remain/become our own nation or to join the US. Newfoundland has never had good management and it was during the great depression so we joined Canada for reasons. And I hear the US were a bit too busy at the time to bargain for Newfoundland.
The part of Minnesota north of Lake of the woods (Angle Inlet) and the part of washington State south of Vancouver (point Roberts), the border between Ohio and Michigan that is not straight east/west (they had a battle over the border shape there), the southwest corner of Kentucky that you have to drive through Tennessee to get to, the part of Virginia across the Chesapeake Bay, the 4 corners monument where 4 states touch, the southern border of California is not straight east/west, the border between Saskatchewan and Manitoba is not straight north/south (it hogs east/west 20 times), the French oversees territory called St Pierre and Miquelon just off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, the city of Detroit, Michigan is just north of Windsor, Ontario, only 1 highway connecting Manitoba (and western Canada) with Ontario (and eastern Canada).
11:50 missed chance to point out the afganistan panhandle, where england and russia gave away their borders to afganistan, so they wouldn't border eachother anymore
Federal land belongs to congress/what ever department they choose to manage it. Tax, laws, law enforcement is also federal and hast very little to do with the state itself. If you commit a crime you are tried in the state you committed the crime, by a jury of the people who live in the county/state. The states don’t ever see the money that the federal government might collect from the land, unless the federal government then develops that land further
My family has a cabin in Point Roberts, it's great because you can pop across the border and pick up a package if they don't deliver to Canada, however these poor guys that live permanently there are getting screwed over with COVID regulations
Most people in Canada actually live south of the Northernmost point of mainland America. A large amount of Canadians live in and around Toronto as well as in Quebec along the St Lawrence River. I recently moved to Nova Scotia from Toronto and we are entirely south of the American border as well.

maybe take a look at the "1920 Schleswig plebiscites" on wikipedia... Germany "loosing" a part to Denmark wasn't entirely because of WW1 but goes back to the wars before in the 19th century and were decided back then as well (kind of) but those rulings ignored until after WW1.
Nova Scotia is where Trailer Park Boys and Cape Breton music, Canada's two great contributions to world culture, are from, so yes it is absolutely what I picture when I think of Canada.
Ok, but most of North Americans traveling to Brazil, are going to Rio, that is located on the Southeast, so pretty far. And that’s the reason when you ask to a Brazilian if they have been to Amazon Forest the answer is no.
Do a video about the dispute between the states of New York and New Jersey over Ellis Island and over the Statue of Liberty. Everybody was concerned about sales tax revenue from the gift shop.

I hate it when nations claim "We should own that piece of land cuz religion cuz climate." Like g maybe those people still want to be independent regardless of how many similarities you have.
Questions about taxes with stuff on state lines: there is in Sharon, PA that is only partly in Sharon and part of it is on the other side of the state line in Ohio. (IIRC, you cannot cross the state line inside the store.) Basically, anything PA taxes is sold on the Ohio side and anything Ohio taxes is sold on the PA side.
As far as the park that's federal, any state fees wouldn't matter because, while it is in two states, neither state has jurisdiction over federal property. The opposite is also true but in this case, only the federal government matters.
