We don’t give a shit about Columbus, both the man and the city.

Which city: The one in Ohio, or the one in Georgia, or one of the 21 other cities in the U.S. by the same name? Still not as many as the number of "Victoria" place names in Canada. You people just can't let go of your Royal heritage, eh? What you need is a good old-fashioned Tea Party to shake things up.

At least we don't have a state or province with the same name as our capital on the opposite border.

I’m a double agent so you’re right. But Columbus is trash, all of them just based on them being named after such an insidious fella. Like living in Ted Bundyville.

They live in Columbus? Or they’re Canadians who are on the wrong side of the issue?

Oh, yeah, we've got 31 of those. And I'm sure he slept in every damn one of 'em.

I actually remember George Washington slept here signs, but I can't remember if it was a cartoon staple or where I used to see that as a Canadian. Perhaps also a gag in MAD magazine.

We have a London and Paris here in Ontario. Years ago we had breakfast in London and rode my bike for lunch in Paris.
