Why, in the media, are Canadian towns seldom suffixed with a province name? I never see something like ‘Winnemucca, USA’ but I will often see names like ‘Okotoks, Canada.’ Does ‘province’ not have the same importance as ‘state?’ Is this common in the Canadian press?
No, it isn’t common in the Canadian press. It irritates me as well.
LOL.... Canada is 19 miles across the water from me and I quit trying to figure them out a long time ago, eh.
It’s done because 90% of Americans are dimwits when it comes to Canada. It’s embarrassing.
