-          We don’t really see why it is called Sexy, but we believe that it is meant ironically, just like he uses irony in the text. 
Because he in the text talks both good and bad about America. Nothing in the text is pointing to America being "sexy"

Answer:  Canada is in a sence one extened border town - a land of mulitple borderlines (psychic, social and geographic). The borders are geographic, not psychical. The reason why they cling to the border, is the combined threat of frostbite and Manifest Destiny (the idea of American taking over the whole consinent) ]]> 2018-03-02 08:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/ygj0fre23dpy/wish/237312946
