This is not exactly about higher education, but file it under the "Itinerant" part of this blog. Returning from testifying in front of the California legislature (which will be the subject of another post in the not-too-distant future), I picked up the
Hemispheres magazine on the United flight. There I found a nice
article about what to do in Montreal. At the end of the article, there was this map (click on the map to see a larger version):
Notice the small inset map, showing the position of Montreal in Canada and relative to the U.S.
Unfortunately, the map is not even close to where Montreal truly is, as shown in Google maps:
Where the
Hemispheres map shows Montreal is actually Kingston, ON. Once again, we Americans demonstrate our ignorance of our neighbor to the north. You can download a PDF version of the magazine article on the
Hemispheres website.
I have a Canadian in my two classes. She has some fun (and not fun) with American ignorance of our neighbor to the North.
