The trade off was not Vancouver Island or the portion of Vancouver Island south of the 49th parallel versus the portion of Washington State under dispute including Seattle. The overall dispute was how to divide the entire Oregon territory which extended as far north as the Alaska panhandle. So, the division of territory ended up being much more equitable than you have presented. At the time, the American President was using the slogan of '54 40 or fight' and wanted the entirety of the Oregon territory for the United States. Incidentally, I visited Port Renfrew, British Columbia this past September including the pub that you mentioned. This is nothing more than a tiny village on the edge of absolute wilderness. A beautiful spot in the temperate rain forest. There is a bigger 'Renfrew' in Ontario, about one hour drive from where I live.

About that Northwest Angle, that Indian tribe sent a envoy to the American President and the Governor General of Canada desiring the border be drawn as it was. That Indian tribe desired the lake to separate it from the US Cavalry, and a border from the Mounted Police. That land border being an extension of the Manitoba/Ontario border through the lake. Point Roberts is just an omission, not fully surveying the border. The 49th Parallel was chosen as a convenient compromise equally distributing the Prairies/Great Plains agricultural land. And as for your completely STUPID concept of Indian tribe lands, there weren't any, not to mention many of the tribes were nomads that migrated with the buffalo. None of the Indian tribes considered land property like the Europeans. And don't forget America and Canada disputed Alaska's border as well even though it was settled between Russia and the UK with the Treaty of St. Petersburg...

Simply put, the UK (Hudson Bay Company) desired Vancouver Island plus the mouth of the Fraser River whereas America desired Puget Sound and access to it leading to the division of the Strait of Juan de Luca. Later there was the pig war over the San Juan Islands... Seattle/Tacoma grew due to two transcontinental railroads which served it, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. The Union Pacific had a rail line to Portland and San Francisco/Oakland. Both were built a decade before the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National which served Vancouver. Without the railroads neither Seattle or Vancouver would have grown as large as they are now... Frankly, the railroads were the largest spark in both nations west.... There are only two east to west mainlines in Canada over the Continental Divide, and now only five mainlines left in the USA.

I thought you'd talk about Point Roberts, Washington, which is a little bit of the USA due south of Vancouver, BC. According to Wikipedia, "Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen peninsula, south of Vancouver, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,191 at the 2020 census, is reached by land to the rest of the United States by traveling 25 mi through Canada

The Philippines was a US territory during WWll so maybe the road naming has some connection, not really sure just my educated guess. Also I'm surprised you didn't mention Point Roberts since its apart of Washington State but only accessible through Canada.

A lot of roads in the Philippines are still named after American names from the colonial and commonwealth eras like Shaw, Taft, Gilmore, Roosevelt, etc On the other hand, there are also residential subdivisions here that like to maintain a theme for their street names. These themes are usually fruits, vegetables, insects, local names, famous heroes, names of provinces, names of US presidents, names of US states, names of countries, and more. Most of the time, the theme is purely just because they want to name all their roads that way lmao

This dates from the 1866 merger toycat mentioned where the town of Victoria and the British Vancouver Island colony merged into the town of Vancouver and the British Columbia colony, Victoria was the biggest city in the united entity so it became the capital and has even ever since. Later of course British Columbia joined the autonomous British Canada dominion, and eventually independent Canada.

The Philippine street you mentioned is a street in a subdivision. A "subdivision" is what Americans would call a suburb or a gated-community. A subdivision is masterplanned with all relevant shared amenities like streets, parks, utilities, sport complex are constructed by the developer. The developer usually sells the land as individual lots. Although you are technically free to build whatever you want, usually the developer will set up rules and guidelines on how your house is built. Things like minimum budget, house design and architectural style can be under the scrutiny of the developer. Usually the developer will put certain themes like houses should be mediterranean design, or modern design or whatever. They also adopt certain naming conventions for areas within the subdivision. The street you pointed had probably assigned a street name following a thematic rule of street name should be mountain names. The other streets of that area of the subdivision probably has mountain names too.

From North Vancouver here, expect rain and traffic this time of year all over the lower mainland. If you go into downtown avoid everything east of abbot to Clarke, and from Powell street to terminal. That’s our brutal homeless zone and it’s best to just avoid the area entirely unless you’re there for transit reasons. The rest of downtown has skids but it’s pretty gentrified and nice. On Main Street you’ll find some nice breweries if that’s your thing. North van is also good for breweries, food, hiking and outdoorsy stuff, west van is like the local Beverly Hills area where all the rich people live but it’s fun, check out ambleside park, lions gate bridge, the sea wall and kits beach. East van/Commercial drive is cool and has lots of stuff to do, Queen E Park is also nice, kitsilano also has lots of great food options.

I grew up in Victoria, BC, and way back when, it was the Capital of Vancouver Island Colony and the largest British port and Pacific Naval base (in Esquimalt, greater Victoria, still the location of Canada's Maritime Forces Pacific HQ). New Wesminster was the capital of the colony of British Columbia, but when the colonies "united," Victoria was the obvious choice as the capital, as it is to this day. Vancouver (originally called Granville) eventually grew to be a much bigger port city once the railroad was completed, as it connected Vancouver to the rest of Canada. Both Vancouver and Victoria are located on the unceded traditional lands of various Coast Salish peoples, as are many lands on the other side of the settler border, proving, as you said, settlers just put a border wherever w/o regard to the people already living there. Edit: on another note, much of BC, all of Washington, and Oregon (as well as Idaho, and parts of California and Alaska) make up Cascadia, or the Cascadian bioregion, which has a lot of similarities culturally and politically, even on both sides of the settler border. I was born in Tacoma Washington, but moved to Victoria at 5, as my mum is Canadian, so I kind of know both places. Victoria is very Canadian, and Puyallup/Seattle is very American, yet both are still so Cascadian.

I can't believe you didn't talk about Point Roberts!!!

As a truck driver from Washington. I can confirm that way to many people live in the Seattle Metropolitan. And I've met the 3 farmers who live in royal city.

He watched oversimplified and now hes ready to make a video bout it

our boarders may be weird but we can live with them. the reason why theres not many population in the paries is the paries there are good airable land for agriculture (aswell with SW ontario which has a few ag capitals like the tobbaco capital of canada, dairy capital of canada,ect) ontario is more of an industrial heartland with airable land and logging/mining up north and the east coastt provinces are mainly fishing.

10:20 Theres also a city named Renfrew near Ottawa, my dad was born there.

And border towns are nice but the traffic there is terrible. The trains from portland dont go to Vancouver. It was one of the first places i went when i grew up and went west

Imagine seeing your home of Vancouver, WA (where I currently live) being discussed on a random video you started watching, then you're told that no one lives there because they're all in Seattle. 😂

200K SUBS SOON

can you make a video about one really specific town that no one has heard of before. i think that would be a good video. you could even title it "Name: The town you've never heard of" because it isnt clickbait, its true
