They're Canadian, all of them.
I do admit though that the whole "There are no rivers in Canada" is a brilliant piece of Obfuscation. But now you know the truth.
Obfuscation probably, but I disagree with you on your tenet that rivers are canadian merely because they start in canada. I feel, rather that if the majority of the river is in your country it belongs to you. Since we all know that America has a long standing tradition of creating maps that are grossly disproportionate to the actual size of America, often times making Canada smaller than America, I've grown up being taught that America is F***ing huge and that we will soon swallow all of North America. With that in mind, Canada has no chance of having the land mass to maintain the largest portion of a river, much less a forest or anything of that sort. The mantra, "there are no rivers in Canada" is an objective foreshadowing of America's cartographic dominance of the world.
