    Do you think you know something as interesting as the fact that there's a country north of America? Submit it to our suggestions bin, and maybe it'll turn into an HAI video! Also, if we use your topic, we'll eventually send you a free HAI t-shirt, which is cool, I guess. Submit here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

      Well, he did say it's not entirely proven, just that there's quite a bit of evidence. All those places could still in fact be part of the USA.
      As a resident of Maple America though, I can confirm that we don't actually exist and are a figment of your imaginations. (There is definitely nothing to see up here, seriously, no need to try to cross the border and test your wild theories of our existence please stay away.)

      There are also smaller independence movements, I just listed the ones I knew
      While Israel is independent, and a majority of UN recognise it, many Islamic countries and North Korea don’t.
      The land between Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt is recognised as fully Israel by some, fully Palestine by some and some nations recognise both.
      China is also disputed as Taiwan claims it as their land but I don’t think that claim is recognised by a lot of countries.

    • @TheJhn924
      @TheJhn924 3 роки тому +4

      The reason is Waterton-Glacier is really two parks... one side is a National Park of Canada and the other a US National Park... sharing a common border. Similar to Peace Arch Park where the US side is a Washington state park and the Canadian side is a BC provincial park... even though there is no restriction crossing from one side to the other within the park, as long as you exit on the same side you entered.

But Waterton isn't like Roosevelt Campobello International Park in that there's not a part administered by the US outside of the US.

Thereby America has conquered without actually conquering! Brilliant! This is why cultural phenomena as well as crisis are currently synced around the world. The issue is that the US failed in their conquest of China and stalemated in Russia. JK! XD

    I can confirm that everything about he said was correct about Canada, as the one Canadian that lives there.

      Lies. No one lives here in Canada. (Don't give them ideas, please. They might want to cross the border. We don't want that.)

    There's a Canadian National Park in France, The Vimy Ridge National Historic Site.

      @@liesdamnlies3372 Well, it took a lot of blood but yes, Canada took that hill and France commemorated the victory by granting us the land where an incredibly large monument sits. (For all you viewers outside Canada, if you get a chance to see the monument in Vimy, do it! It's an incredible monument commemorating Canada's WW1 battle victory and France's liberation).

    HAI, my boy, I love ya, but c'mon. Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt's marriage wasn't incest. They were fifth cousins once removed, which meant they would have been extremely unlikely to share common genes that the rest of the humanity didn't have. If they didn't have the same last name, no one would have even known they shared a tiny fraction of their ancestry. Their last common ancestor died in 1660, and FDR was actually more closely related to President Ulysses Grant (fourth cousins) than to his fifth cousin Theodore Roosevelt or Teddy's niece, Eleanor.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there are American National Parks all over America, tbh. Like in Mexico, Argentina, and yes, also Canada and even the US.
