Val, we haven't had any US inavsion plans... since we became a nation anyway. (I mean, there was the war of 1812, but that went both ways, and it doesn't count anyway.)

Courtesy of a google search I now know to which region each country belongs, though this was harder than I thought. There's a reason I thought the Caribbean was part of Central America - no one else can decide where it is either. Central America isn't an actual continent-like land mass, and the only thing that separates North and South America is the Panama Canal. Hence the confusion. Finally I settled on this site. (Cuba is so in Central America. ) North America: Bermuda Canada Mexico St. Pierre & Miquelon (France) The United States of America Central America: Aruba Antigua and Barbuda Anguilla Barbados Bahamas Belize Navassa Island Cayman Islands Costa Rica Cuba Dominica Dominican Republic El Salvador Grenada Guadeloupe Guatemala Haiti Honduras Clipperton Island Jamaica Martinique Montserrat Netherlands Antilles Nicaragua Panama Puerto Rico Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Trinidad and Tobago Turks and Caicos Islands Saint Vincent/Grenadines British Virgin Islands Virgin Islands South America Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador French Guiana Falkland Islands (United Kingdom) Guyana Suriname Paraguay Peru Uruguay Venezuela

Of course and that site is incorrect - I've already posted many sites on the US - European Geography thread. ALL Carribean Islands are part of NORTH America.
YUou owuld pick probably the ONLY one that actually states what you believe. As you pointed out - Central America is not a continent- it's like the term Middle east - it refers to a common region. I don't like the title change - the discussion was supposed to be about North American relations - particularly between the US and Canada.

Further research has turned up that Iceland is also part of North America. EDIT: I'm going to go browse that thread now. Quote:
That is how the thread started... do you have something to add to that discussion, because we can revive it. Random factoid - according to the CIA factbook, Canada is Cuba's second largest export partner, after the Netherlands. (Russia is third.) And... check out this cool (and official site, I think) of Trinidad and Tobago. I'm finding this while trying to get an official answer on the Carribeans. I have a sinking feeling you're right though JD, grr losing arguments like this sucks. EDIT2: Quote:
Curses, foiled again!

I also don't have to partake in the discussion either with the change in the thread. Which I said above - I am planning on boycotting.

Yes, it does appear that site made a mistake, at least about Iceland.
Wait a minute, you're boycotting the thread, just because I changed the name!? Oh c'mon... um... hello? Hellooo... I'll PM you.

I'm getting my NY license next week and will be venturing into Canada all the time starting next week. My farm is only 3 miles or so from the border. Quebec's capitol Montréal is only an hour away. So I should have LOTS to say soon on the subject.

Does this have some sort of symbolic message about Canada-USA relationships?

Canada, (represented by a third-year forestry student from BC) is willing to compromise over things that aren't important in an effort to maintain good relations with friends and neighbours. The USA, (represented by an entrepreneur from NJ) is armed with a great deal of knowledge, and isn't afraid to boycott things that annoy him.

Maybe Earthbound can tell us about how her farm is really a top-secret US govt facility for the PREVENTION of the invasion of the USA by Canada. I know that we have been openly infiltrated by Canadians like William Shatner and Celine Dion and Shania Twain, but I mean the truly serious invasion with the Mounties and all!
