    Eh, continents are entirely a socially-constructed category. I mean, how can Mexican America and South America be one continent when there’s no land route between them, yet Europe and Asia can be two continents? The Americas are on different techtonic plates, which similarly is enough to earn India the designation of subcontinent. And where’s the cut-off between big island and continent? Bigger than Greenland, and smaller than Australia is all we can say.

    Anyway, what I’m saying is that with just a quick redefinition of the continents, which already don’t make sense, Canada can be in Europe.
