Bunnies invented Canada

OK, OK, there is no need to be upset, I will explain why (and how) Bunnies invented Canada. And it's a true story, as usual!

The first thing that needs to be explained is that, in essence, Canada is pretty much an ice cube with a luscious, intense, thick, omnipresent forest composed of 99,99% pine trees covering said ice cube (AKA Canada). Canadians are the folks who live in this frozen land, and there is no surprise in the fact that many Canadians will wear plaid shirts and carry axes with them, as a place with so much pine is obviously doomed to be a hotspot for lumberjacks.

So, back to the original question: what the heck do bunnies have to do with Canada?

You see, bunnies invented pine. I swear! Would I lie to you? Exactly. They invented pine because they love Christmas, but the Bunnies felt that the holiday was missing something... I mean, before pine trees ever existed Christmas trees were traditionally palm trees, and there's only so many ornaments you can hang on a palm tree. So the more geeky and science inclined bunnies did a favor to their grandmothers and developed this new kind of tree, making sure that the trees would grow in nice layers in suck a way to optimize ornament hanging spots, but also letting it hold a bit of snow for an extra glittery effect.

Back to Canada, let's make our case. 99.99% of Canada is composed of pine since the ice cube substrate is basically water, and since water is tasteless, odourless and basically a big puddle of neutrality - therefore Canada is actually a big pine tree collection. So there, bunnies invented Canada!

No wonder Canada's first official flag (called "Eyes on the pom pom") featured a big bunny as its central symbol.

Now you know!
