      “Wow, they really did a number on Appalachia. The cruelties of war are really endless. 😔”

      “No, no, this is what it looked like before the war too.”

        a vast empty wasteland, filled with debris and devoid of life…

    I’m in Ontario and I have lots of friends in southern Ontario … I think your map severely exaggerates the influence that the French might have outside of Quebec. I also know lots of Quebecers … and many of them associate themselves to freedom loving Americans than to Canadians or the British (which is hilarious because these same French Quebecois also love their language so much that they look down on speaking English, even though they want to spend time in Florida and the American south).

    As for southern Ontarians, I have lots of family and friends in Norfolk, south of Hamilton, Ontario both Native and non-Native … and their culture down there looks and sound more American than Canadian. Go to any house down there and almost everything they watch and listen and follow is 100% American and the majority are conservative loving MAGA idiots.

    As for me in northern Ontario … we’d quickly draw a border around Huntsville Ontario and declare our own country north of that border and separate ourselves from the southern half of our former province.

      Now I want to watch a reaction video of a French person watching an argument between Quebequois and Bayou Creole

    “Do we need any of the thousands of square miles in the middle?”

    “Probably not? I dunno, just nuke it all, we’ll sort it out later”
