The Sun never sets on the French Empire. (Literally. There's always some part of France that's in daylight.)
For an additional TIL: Canada also shares a land border with Denmark Hans Island
And I'm a little disappointed that we finally made peace with the Canadians. It was running up to be one of the longest wars ever, with each country alternating to jovially plant a flag a bottle of spirits. Politest war in the history of mankind!
Yeah, it was fun reading about that war/liquor bootlegging enterprise.
I learned about these from Peaky Blinders.
Ah yes… I remember those episodes but didn’t recall them not being Canadian.
Great show!
