Same. And did they use the image of him looking at the sun (eclipse) for that sticker? A thing of beauty.

I dont think i want meat from most countries in those regions. Food safety regulations are not made equal everywhere. I wouldnt want any from the US either

Canada has pretty decent protections in place for consumers, and meat has to hit the Grade Requirements for imported meat products.

additionally - employees at meat packing plants in the U.S. enjoy when they are processing meat for sale to Canada, because the processing lines slow down significantly, (meaning they don’t have to work at as much of a frantic pace), to meet Canadian standards.

And central America. If it said "Latin America" instead, it would be correct.

Central America is officially a part of North America, though, as is the Caribbean. Otherwise, North America would consist of only two or three countries, depending on how you classify Mexico 🤷

Actually I thought NA was just 3 countries (or 4 if you count Greenland).

But also, continents are a social construct. America is one continent, is 2 continents, is 3 continents.

Careful, now, you're heading towards a Pangaea Reunification campaign! 😁

No thanks. I'm pro-antlantic-separatism.

Bigot! (JK of course)
