I know we're small and obscure and a long way from anywhere, but we really are a whole separate country from Australia!

Not us, but some US journalist (so-called) that doesn't know much about the geography of the Southern hemisphere :-)

I though New Zealand was just a suburb of Australia...

Not being up on Canadian geography, I'm assuming that Mont Royal is where the local parliament is located.

As a side note, all cities with large vegetation tracts harbor a wide selection of wild omnivorous animals such as raccoons and skunks. New York is a good example. Ps. The Federal Parliament of Canada is in Ottawa and Provincial Parliament of Québec is in Québec city. Last edited by yvanleterrible; 07-22-2013 at 09:48 AM. |

Speaking of country mix ups
At the G20 meeting in Seoul last year it was decided to present the attendees with little replica dolls of themselves. Aussies were pissing themselves (or at least the Australian's with a sense of humour) because the Korean's decked out the Julia Gillard doll in "Sound of Music" garb. The Austrian Australian mixup was quickly fixed with a quick change to a drab dress. Edit: a pair of lederhosen and a silly hat would have been more suitable.

I live not far from NYC (about 37 miles via I-78) and can confirm that NYC is also home to a large population of opossums and foxes -- and a reasonable population of coyotes.
