If I had to pick my favorite Canadian province I would probably pick North Dakota. I know that some of you sticklers will argue with me and say that North Dakota isn't technically part of Canada, let alone a province, and I hear you. But I feel sorry for North Dakota. I mean, think about it. When God created the Dakotas, North Dakota obviously got the raw end of the deal. South Dakota has Mount Rushmore, beautiful majestic mountains, and a world-renowned unicycling contingent. What does North Dakota have? Trees. Which is pretty sad. North Dakota's feelings must be hurt. Wouldn't it be great if we let North Dakota have the spotlight just once? Don't you think it would do wonders for North Dakota's self-esteem if we elected it as our #1 favorite Canadian province?
I mean, c'mon-- we can't
all be winners, but that doesn't mean the losers have to feel like losers every
day. So if you have a heart that's even half as soft as Mt. Rushmore is hard,
you'll be glad to take off your hat to North Dakota and help me make that little
rectangular state the happiest little state it can be.
