Except for the fact that the canal has no Atlantic Ocean end.
Well considering they were identified as dinosaurs till 1842 thats not really surprising so the same can be said for anyone that lived and died before that year or even several years after.
“Detroit is east of Atlanta” always messes me up
This is true in Canada. However, in the case of the NW Angle in Minnesota, they never needed to and didn't have one as it's a long distance and few people live up there to build one. So they didn't have ice road access in 2020, but pooled together enough resources to build one in 2021.

Who needs battleships when you've got torpedoes coming from above and below.The Iowa class Battleships (Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, and Wisconsin) were not the largest class of battleship designed and ordered built by the US Navy. The Montana class approved by Congress and ordered built in 1939 was significantly larger, was much more heavily armored, and had significantly more throw weight from its main gun battery. Five named ships (BB-67 through BB-71) were authorized, the Montana, the Maine, the Ohio, the Louisiana, and the New Hampshire. Concurrently Congress also authorized the widening of the Panama Canal to accommodate the Montana’s. The construction of the Montana and her sister ships were delayed by the attack on Pearl Harbor and were ultimately cancelled after the sinking of the aircraft carriers Wasp, Hornet, Lexington, and the Yorktown in the Pacific war in favor of the much needed new Essex class aircraft carriers. The Montana’s would have been more than a match for the Yamato class battleships the Japanese were building as well as the German battleships the Bismarck and the Tirpitz.

It took 11 or 12 torpedoes and scores of 500lb bombs to sink the undefended Yamato. The Montana’s were designed to be better armored than any existing battleship (16.1 inches inclined at 19 degrees). The inclination is important in deflecting water line explosions from torpedoes. The Yamato did not have an inclined hull near the water line for torpedo protection, yet it still took 11 or 12 hits (and 25 500lb bombs) to sink it. As far as needing battleships, why were the Iowa’s reactivated years after the end of WW2? It’s an interesting debate with many active naval personnel and some in the government feeling the United States should not have retired the Iowa’s in 2011.
