"there is a banana belt up that way in Canada"

West Coasters like to brag that they live in the “banana belt” of Canada, but the lyrics of the popular 1920s song, Yes, We Have No Bananas, hint at the true story of bananas in B.C. Yes, we can grow bananas on the coast. No, we don’t get edible fruit.
