215-word Fake Wikipedia Explanation of - Canada

While it isn’t true that the name CANADA came from citizens randomly throwing out letters in a meeting (“I like ‘c’, eh!” “I like ‘n’, eh!” “How about “d”, eh?), it is true that Canada is the least visited country with the lowest tourism rate in the world – even behind Azerbaijan unless you count US draft-dodgers.

It is known for majestic mountains, hockey, curling, being cold, cheap meds, and lousy neighbors. It is the birthplace of many famous musicians and actors/comedians but they refuse to take any of them back.
They are not an economic, military, or Olympic powerhouse but they are nice about it.

Canada claimed independence from England in 1982 when their parliament got together and called England a bunch of hosers for not “taking off” already. England shrugged, not realizing they still owned Canada anyway. Canada immediately joined the United Nations and was granted a permanent and lonely seat on a committee that no one thinks about – a fitting role for the gigantic country no one thinks about.


Today, Canada is poised to overtake the world one dose of the world’s nastiest cough syrup at a time.


Now it's your turn to write a fake Wikipedia explanation of CANADA . . .
