I love America reporting.

  1. "Local man from Chivington saves eagle" like we know where this ghost town is so we don't need a state or country suffix.

  2. "Deer in Canada", just "Canada", like it wouldn't even USE town names or regions or provinces because it's some tiny country instead of the second largest country on the planet.

Just Canada.

No need to be more exact. If a news guy isn't waving his hand like an old man from a chair giving directions, then is it really talking about Canada?

Hey now, if a fellow freedom-haver from east of Colorado asks where I'm from, I just say north of Seattle, because they both do not care and also do not know anything about my state. If I say I'm from the "South Vancouver Trader Joe's unincorporated district", there is a better chance of a Canadian knowing where I am from than even someone from Seattle...

I'm a Canadian and I know exactly where that is. Not many people know about Other Vancouver.

I'm assuming it's near one of the populated parts which narrows it down significantly.

And why report it on international news? What Am I supposed to do with that information from across the ocean?
