Halifax is sister cities with Norfolk, Virginia and Hakodate, Japan

But not Boston

Wtf is with that

Boston has taken a very special, prominent interest in Halifax—by name!!!—since the day it was founded, 268 years ago.

The two cities have more history together than Halifax has with 99% of the rest Canada combined

They even have a ferry specifically for easier travel, with (so I’m told) little to no border crossing formalities

Not to mention 2017 is the 100 year anniversary of their TRUE BFFing. The christmas tree is a time old concept that’s not gonna be a big enough of a thank you this December. What better 100 year anniversary present than becoming sister cities

((It got a bit long, oops ^.^;; Eheh…sorry anon

Teasing loyalist/patriot banters. But at least they both agree that New York and Toronto are annoying.

Michelle will Fite™ Ivy if she has to go through Bluenose teasing one more time

Michelle refuses to leave Ivy in her house alone, after coming back one day to find her entire floor completely covered in Canadian dimes, with Ivy sitting at the other end of the hall with a smug little smirk and cup of Dunkins coffee. Just to taunt her.

Drinking and sailing rivals buddies

They probably play King of the Hill games together

Ivy has 100% sworn Michelle a life debt and will do anything and everything she asks

Michelle drags Ivy to every home Red Sox and Patriots game. Every. Single. One.

Ivy is secretly a Bruins fan, since she doesn’t have her own team (yET.) However, if asked, she still insists she’s neutral. Léa’s hockey wrath shall not be incurred.

Ivy sometimes gets déjà-vu of the Ontarians, because of Michelle’s ego

Accent mimicking (which normally fails because they’re both already so thick) and teasing. Both ways. All the time.

When they get in a car, Ivy drives. Michelle has tried to negotiate around this (“in Massachusetts I drive, since I know the rules of the road here.”) Ivy gave it a “third times the charm” before ducktaping Michelle into shotgun until she gave up and let Ivy be around the clock chauffeur. “Masshole” might’ve also been a very common nickname used during this process (and still sometimes is).

Ivy getting (forcibly) introduced to Dunkins, and eventually even starts to call it Dunkies hey, it’s catchy. They’re actually not that bad, but she holds Michelle to absolute secrecy of the few-time admittance by using a picture of her holding up Ivy’s old Loyalist uniform. Because willingly coming into contact with one is 110% shameful to Michelle.

Arguing over whether the drink with the ice cream in it is a frappé or a milk shake. Boston, you are the only one who calls it a frappé, stop yourself
