A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Native Tribes in Canada: "Hey can you give back the rest then?"
Canada: "Lol"
Could have just included the Ontario part snd Vancouver Island and it would still be true lol.
Just outline the GTA and call it a day.
And the Vancouver mainland. And Montreal I guess.

I am sure some US hardliners see the map and wonder how is this country still independent.
These positions are not defensible from military perspective.
C'mon, it even looks like a rifle
Who would be insane enough to invade a country, that already looks like a weapon?
Careful how you phrase that, I heard a militia of collectors is forming to capture the biggest depiction of a gun in the world
Trump did call Trudeau governor of the great state of Canada yesterday and suggested it should become the 51st state a ~week ago
dude is too stupid to understand why he should not do it.
until i hear some GOP chaney and kissegeer types, i aint worried.
Yeah, I'm not worried about imminent invasion either. A trade war will already basically cause chaos, though, and it could escalate from there. Hopefully the government is up to the task.
You want to know why Canada still exists despite having a fraction of the manpower or military of the United States?
It's because the United States likes Canada. We think they're fun to have around.
Do you guys actually think about us that much?
That's an abstract question to try to answer; it's not like we sit around and ponder about y'all for hours on end but someone says "This is my friend Bill from Canada" and you just think "Oh cool."
On a societal level, we share the world's longest international border, we're massive trade partners, like, most of the Northwestern hemisphere's best comedians come from Canada...we like Canada, we think they're fun to have around.
Yeah, that's my impression too. It's more like you never sat down and thought about annexing us to start with; at least this side of WWII. We're pleasantly familiar feeling and stay out of the way, so there's no reason to.
Hopefully you know that "your country only exists at my pleasure" is not a compliment. I read this as a deliberate jab at first, but now I'm not so sure.
We’re pleasantly familiar feeling and stay out of the way, so there’s no reason to.
I think I'd go farther and say you're pretty good friends; we have plenty of projects going together, we've got a giant waterfall we do a pretty good job sharing, etc.
Hopefully you know that “your country only exists at my pleasure” is not a compliment.
Wasn't really designed to be; it's more meant to chastise other imperial superpowers throughout history. If you went back through history and took the dominant superpower of any given era and plunked their leadership down in 1950's Washington DC, how many of them form close economic ties and a mutual defense pact, and how many of them march on Ottawa?
If I read our treaties correctly, the official attitude of the United States is more like "Canada shall cease to exist over our dead bodies."
It's a bit of an unfair comparison. WWII had just ended and the world was adjusting to the invention of nuclear weapons. The British stopped invading places too, and that was their whole thing. Also, don't forget, before WWII you did try to annex us.
To date you've chosen to sphere us instead, but it's not because you're all just nice guys.
and that was their whole thing
Yeah that's kinda the point I was making.

Excellent. I’m cut out from there so I can make my own country.
I think that if climate change causes a lot of snow in the north to melt, it will create a lot of new arable space further north that people could potentially migrate to (even from other countries, eg climate migrants from the inhabitable equator)
(disclaimer: never been to Canada)
It would probably be extremely swampy for a long time. All that time it would release a tremendous amount of methane.

It’s fucking cold any further up there though.
Just give it a few years.
Winnipeg here ... we were doing fine until this last Sunday when we got a shit ton of snow and last night it was -42C (almost the same in F) with the wind chill.
But summer and fall were both longer and warmer than usual. Forecasters up here are having some difficulty with predicting anything more than a day or two in advance.
Canada looks like a shit gun.
It's Legendary though and will cost you $1867 to unlock.
Do you hear that, Randy? The Americans cocked the shit gun

Canada is the north side of the st. Lawrence river, everything else is just that area's backyard
