Ignorance about Canadian geographyisn't limited to Americans.
I met a Canadian graduate student (from Ontario) who didn't know the difference between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Kind of like a Londoner mixing up Wales and Scotland. And they always shrug and say more or less, 'Sorry, but who cares? Nobody important lives there.'
But this was during her thesis defense.
Last week.
