Detroit is north of Canada

True fact.

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state. Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan, but most work in Detroit.

Note to "the left": Assume the man's tone, facts and motives all to be suspect. Please use reason to convince him he is wrong. Please suggest some rational course of action. It is a lot to ask, I realize.

Yeah, I have cousins in rural Ontario that are due south of Detroit. When I lived in California briefly, people didn't believe it until I hauled out an atlas.

Kinda like the Panama Canal, where going from the Atlantic to the Pacific requires traversing the canal from west to east.

As for the rest of your post? Man, I wish I could just contemplate geographical oddities and not the rest. Detroit. It's just sad what has happened there.
