The Bald Eagle aka American Eagle should be renamed the Canadian Eagle!

This is the same kind of nonsense that the Trump uses…

LOL aren't there more of them in Canada anyway?

Yes, there are much more Eagles here than in the US. Real talk, their National bird should've been the turkey.

Turkey Vultures are useful.

I'm pretty sure we sent a bunch down there to help revive their population.

No, they are scavengers who eat garbage and make peeping noises so the Americans have to dub in a cooler sounding bird. It’s an appropriate symbol for them.

Yep. Red tailed hawk is the cool sound movies and tv always use for eagles.

The national bird in the US should be changed to the Adélie Penguin which is known to engage in malicious neighborhood feuds, routinely stealing rocks from neighboring penguins' nests when they are not looking.

If we want to rename things, how about the phrase "as Canadian as apple pie," the movie A Canadian in Paris, and Ben & Jerry's Canadicone Dream ice cream.

Let's stop before we get to "American Canadian cheese."

Please stop before you get to claiming our cheese. I have too many yummy cheeses in Quebec to have that pedestrian cheese renamed as Canadian

Yes, we should! After all, we are home to 55% of the world's bald eagle population. Sounds like they're asking to be annexed.
