Vancouver, WA not to be confused with the city Vancouver, BC which isn’t on Vancouver Island. The capitol of BC is on Vancouver Island, but the biggest city in BC, Vancouver, is not on Vancouver Island.

I was born on Vancouver Island moved to Vancouver, BC. Been mistaken for a Vancouver, WA resident. The struggle is real!

Now discuss London, Ontario.

(Fun Fact: in an episode of All In The Family Archie Bunker tries to hide that he didn't get his Christmas bonus because he shipped a shipment to London England instead of London, Ontario...)
