Let me be clear: this is a playful thought experiment, not a claim. But the evidence is suspiciously vibes-based. Canada is always described as very large, very polite, and slightly beyond the horizon. Photos show forests, lakes, and people in excellent jackets, yet the country itself keeps getting away with being mostly anecdote.
Perhaps "Canada" is a distributed social experiment: a maple leaf on a sign, a distant radio accent, and a promise that somewhere north there is a town with perfect snow. Maybe the real Canada is the friends we made while looking for it.
Until someone brings me a verifiable Canadian in a controlled lab, I remain open-minded.
