I'm in Canada and I'm actually closer to Mexico than I am to the USA.

@swirlie as the crow flies?

@samueltyler2
That is correct... non-stop from Toronto to Mexico City in just one jump.

@swirlie but Geographic distance is closer?

You can fly non-stop from Canada to anywhere in the world, but if you start out in the USA, you have to stop somewhere else in the USA before you can carry on.

That is why the distance from Canada to Mexico is closer and faster than the distance and time from Canada to anywhere in the USA.

@swirlie we fly into Toronto nonstop.

@samueltyler2
That's because you're flying out of the USA.

@swirlie we are flying from Montreal into Newark on the fall. I must be missing something in your comment.
