Could have just included the Ontario part snd Vancouver Island and it would still be true lol.

They're not Canadian. They're Quebecois, remember?
There are 4 variations on the word but none end in -le.

They "reappropriated", and re-wrote, a ton of french words. As is their right, because all words are made up anyway

As was explained in the link I provided.
“Tabarnak” (or its variants) is a Quebecois French swear word. In essence, it’s a profanity that derives its power from its connection to the Catholic Church. The word is derived from “tabernacle,” which in the Catholic faith is the sacred vessel that contains the consecrated host, representing the body of Christ. In Quebec, where Catholicism once held significant sway over society, the word “Tabarnak” has evolved into a potent exclamation, used to express a range of emotions, from anger and frustration to astonishment and awe.

Quebec =/=Utah.
Just outline the GTA and call it a day.
And the Vancouver mainland. And Montreal I guess.
Fuck Calgary though
Vancouver is not on Vancouver Island.
According to whose geography?
Well he landed there. But he's not there now, not for a while. Nor the town: that's on the mainland (aka the Big Island with Moncton and New Denver on it) .
Fun fact: there's a Victoria Island but Victoria isn't there either, the person nor the town.
Well he landed there.
Was Vancouver a person? I'm learning a lot about Canada in this post about not knowing Canada (^_^)
? It's just a fact. The urban agglomeration commonly known as Vancouver (any of them) is not on the large, west-coast island known as Vancouver island.
I suspect you're trolling.
I am. It is a post about truncate Canada geography after all.
However, being myself not versed in north-american geography, I've only learned today that there was such a thing as a Vancouver island.Ah, okay, sorry. It's the one on the west end of this map. The city of 3 million called Vancouver is just across the channel on the mainland. The same English navy captain charted them both, which is where the name comes from.
The places I've heard of on the island are Victoria, Tofino and Nanaimo, but those aren't very large centers, and if you include them then you have to include all the prairie cities as well. The rest is covered in mountains, temperate rainforest and retired British expats.
