Hey, we're over here

Amidst all the ridiculousness about Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin having foreign policy experience because the state she governs, Alaska, is next to Russia, I have to ask:

What about Canada? Alaska shares an actual border with Canada. And Canada's a foreign country, too! But wait—if proximity to Canada qualifies as foreign policy experience, then the governors of Washington State, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine also have foreign policy experience.

And you know, Illinois isn't that far away from Ontario, if you don't mind going through Michigan first. And Chicago is located on one of the Great Lakes, though (alas!) it's the one that's not shared with Canada. Does that still count?
