Toronto: Not as Far South as You Think, Eh?
Hey there, geography gurus and trivia titans! Today, we're diving headfirst into a question that's more mind-boggling than a double-double with extra whipped cream: How many US states are actually north of Toronto?
For some reason, Canada gets stereotyped as this sprawling landmass perpetually buried in snow. But plot twist! Canada stretches far south, while the US sneaks a surprising amount of territory up north.
The Shocking Truth (Spoiler Alert: It's a Lot)
Here's the answer that might make you shout "eh!" in disbelief: a whopping 27 US states have land that creeps further north than the southernmost tip of Canada! That's more than half! Imagine chilling on a beach in California and technically being north of some parts of Canada.

Think of it this way: Canada is like a giant, fluffy pancake, while the US is a lanky rectangle that juts up in some unexpected places.
