Canada has a general reputation as being a kind, passive, non-threatening nation.
Which brings me to the Canada Goose. Sure, it's named after the country, but I think it's named after an alternate, mirror universe Canada, where black is white, wrong is right and the US electoral system makes sense.
Which would explain why the bird is a mean, foul tempered aggressive bully that crosses international borders on a whim to lay down its own own brand of swaggering imperiousness without consideration for others.
Yeah, thanks for soiling the name of Canada, Canada goose. And all over my shoe, no less.
