    Canadians are not yankees. Yankees are from the southeast. The entire east coast of the US is far further south than most people realize.

      I was trying to comprehend why a citizen of Montana would designate ‘a northerner’ a Yankee.

      I was being obtuse and ignoring the point that it was probably self-referential.
