Time to buy a cowboy hat

Canada is Texas.

Perhaps this explains our crazy weather of late.

A map compiled by a Norwegian blogger (and discovered on fellow Vancouver blogger Miss604's blog) shows Canada where Texas ought to be. The enterprising map creator has simply transferred the names of countries on to where the state names ought to be, where GDP is equal to the economic output of that state.

It really reminds one that while the world's first, traditional and next superpower looms on the horizon across the Pacific, the USA is still a terribly important piece of real estate for the time being and foreseeable future.
