{{quote|''A good definition of Canada might be that it is the only country that is being told repeatedly — from both inside and outside itself — that it doesn’t really exist.''|[[Margaret Atwood]],| [http://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2006/01/the-lrc-100-part-one/ The LRC 100 (Part One)], being somewhat more metaphorical than this trope}}
 
'''Canada Does Not Exist''' is a strange, location-based trope distantly related to [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]. Though this trope might arguably apply to a tiny handful of shows shot in other countries, it's the relative closeness of American and Canadian culture, contrasted with their distinct differences, that really define it. CDNE shows are virtually always shot in a Canadian location, while the fictional setting is deliberately left vague, a "nowhereland" that is neither fully America nor completely Canada.
