Meanwhile, up here in Canada eh! with a great white Queenie mother with frizzy steel wool for hair STILL on our money in the 21st century alredy, and we want to have Canadian protypical model trains? We had our chance to be a part of the New World in 1776 and said NO when we might have had a real say. With a population of about 30 million today in Canada, maybe, lets be happy for the abundance of models we are offered.

Well...if the Queen's picture offends you, and you don't qualify for a debit or credit card.....you might want try using
paper money, as the Queen's picture was discontinued on that particular type of Canadian currency quite a while back.
Or just use Canadian Tire money, which features a male Scot....but he's also white, I'm afraid.[:0]
I see your protest against all things English includes the language itself, with "alredy" and "protypical" as new Republic of Canada thesaurus entries.[:p]
Your knowledge of history is a bit suspect. The only additional colony in British North America that might have become "the fourteenth" US colony, was Nova Scotia, mainly due to its' own New England population demographics, and to the terrible British abuses inflicted upon the French Acadians.
The rest of what became Canada, 91 years
after 1776, was embroiled in a French vs. English struggle throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries....come to think of it, thoughout every century
since then, too.[:I][:I][B)][B)]
