I Redrew Canada's Borders… Using Nature (Countryballs)

Mr. Orbit finally gives CANADA its BORDER MAKEOVER 🍁✂️ Saskatchewan refuses to lose its rectangle, BC takes back the Alaska Panhandle coast, Point Roberts and the Northwest Angle come home, the Whisky War gets a happy ending… and PEI really, REALLY doesn't want to merge. Sorry, USA. Chapters 0:00 Cold open: Canada wants its makeover 0:55 The ruler provinces (Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba) 2:48 The West (BC, the Alaska Panhandle, Yukon) 4:21 The leftovers (Point Roberts, the Northwest Angle) 5:30 France's last islands 5:51 Hans Island and the Whisky War 6:34 The East (Labrador, Quebec) 7:35 The Maritimes 9:05 The North (Nunavut) 9:41 The big reveal Real facts in this episode: • Saskatchewan is the only province with no natural border. • Alberta and Saskatchewan both became provinces in 1905; their border is the 110th meridian. • Manitoba started in 1870 as the tiny "postage stamp province". • The BC–Alberta border follows the Rockies' Continental Divide, then the 120th meridian. • In 1903 the British judge on the Alaska boundary tribunal sided with the Americans. • About 1,200 people live in Point Roberts, Washington, which can only be reached by land through Canada. • The Northwest Angle exists because the 1783 treaty used an inaccurate map. • France has kept Saint-Pierre and Miquelon (on and off) since 1763. • Canada and Denmark split Hans Island in 2022 after the "Whisky War". • A court in London set the Labrador border in 1927, using the watershed. • Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. • The 1864 Charlottetown Conference was meant to merge the Maritimes. • Nunavut (1999) is bigger than Mexico, with about 37,000 people.
