@attoparsec Does the role of Canada here predate Avenue Q? I kind of don’t think so.

@joXn @attoparsec TV Tropes has an entry which suggests many occurrences older than Avenue Q (and I certainly would have said I knew it as a trope before 2003.). Among them is The Breakfast Club, 1984. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GirlfriendInCanada

@joXn @attoparsec I was familiar with the trope before moving to the US in 2003. Oddly, I can’t think of a UK equivalent.
