Canada is south of the United States. At first glance, that statement may seem like it couldn't be further from the truth. While it's true not all of the United States is north of Canada (obviously), a surprising amount of it actually is.
And while we're at it, here's another statement to think about: "More Americans (What People From The United States Call Themselves) live north of Canada's southernmost point then Canadians do.
We all know Canada is a giant country by area, right? Well, even if we do, how many of us really knew the fact that half of the Canadian population (around 15 million) lives in the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor? It might not sound surprising at first, but this area of land is roughly 88,000 sq miles. But 15 million people live in this area, so it pretty obviously will get crowded.
But what does this have to do with how south Canada actually is..?? That's because it's all under the 49th parallel, the longest border between any country in the world. So not only does the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor have the most people in one area in all of Canada, but all of that is in an area that's south of at least 9 US states (that is, if my calculations are correct, which they probably aren't).
Now, if we go to Canada's southernmost point, which is Middle Island, we will find that 13 entire US states are north of it. They are: Alaska (obviously), Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. 3 US states are partially north of Canada's southernmost point, and they are: California, Nevada, and Utah. So, if you're from any one of these states, you can literally say part of your state is north of Canada (if you get what that means).
Lastly, here's a list of US cities which are north of Canada (if it's not a surprise):
1. Detroit, MI
2. Angle Inlet, MN
3. Fort Covington, NY
4. Pittsburg, NH
5. Caribou, ME
If you're from Canada, then let's just say you're not as north as you may have thought. In a lot of ways, the United States is north of Canada.
