Are Canadians aware of the existence of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon? If so, what do they know (or think) about it?

    It comes up now and then as a sort of cutesy point of trivia. Like "how many countries does Canada border—WRONG WRONG WRONG!"

    I remember there was this great sarcastic quote, I forget who said it, some premier of Newfoundland, I think. He was skeptical of increased funding for the military, and said something to the effect of "oh yes, we're so defenceless against enemies. In fact, I lie awake every night fearing St. Pierre and Miquelon will invade."
