Introduction
Is Canada even real?
It’s a question that is being
asked with increasing frequency
as those outside our borders
become aware of our water-
proof, see-through, mythically
maple-scented currency and our
improbably hot prime minister’s
assertions that Santa lives here.
In an age of Wiki, Google
Maps, and #factcheck, how could
the very existence of Canada be
questioned? And yet, how could
a nation built on beaver pelts
exist in the same realm as, say,
Belgium or Niger?
