What’s the deal? Is that the North Pole?

@Rasterman Everything in that circle is literally too cold, too barren, and too expensive to reach with utilities. Something like 95 percent of Canadians live within a handful of miles of the US border, and the vast majority of the remaining 5 percent live in Quebec City and Edmonton Alberta, which is the major Canadian city that's unusually far north (you can see it on the heat map).

@Rasterman There's no infrastructure like roads, power lines or internet north of the 53rd parallel lol so it's baically starting from scratch, which is still no excuse really. It's basically all tundra that far north and a lot of it is impassable in winter.It's also a lot easier to trade with the states 100km south than it is to trade across the enormous distance across the country so everyone snuggles up the american border.

@Rasterman Yeah, that's the Artic Pole Circle. Nobody gets killed there because nobody really wants to live there.

@Robert_Edwardly How horrible it must be if White people couldn’t settle there. So basically it’s the North Pole as I thought.Never knew Canada was only a fraction of its size until I saw this.

@Rasterman There are pretty major areas of the northern middle of the US that aren't settled for similar reasons (hard to sustain agriculture, logistical expenditure, limited potable water, it's frigging below zero for weeks at a time). Whole states like Iowa are just a few cities next to the rivers with all the schools and hospitals there and nothing but farms (mostly owned by big ag now) in between

@Robert_Edwardly @Rasterman What about Yellowknife?

@MeBigbrain @Rasterman Out of forty million Canadians, 20000, or one in every two thousand, live in Yellowknife. Statistically, it's irrelevant.For comparison, Quebec City has somewhere in between 8 and 9 hundred thousand people and the Edmonton great metro area is about 1.4 million, or over one in every forty Canadians.And the Toronto/Montreal corridor makes everything else look small.

@Rasterman Canadians are false, it's a made up settlement bordering that area to hide what's in it (beavers that run global oil)

@Rasterman It's really cold and nobody wants to live there. The northern middle of the US is pretty consistently the coldest part, and the Dakotas, etc. are sparsely populated. Canada is where it goes from just being cold and desolate to downright uninhabitable.

@ArdainianRight @Rasterman Can confirm its cold in the upper midwest, up in canada it is moreso the forested tundra

@ArdainianRight @Rasterman North of the Mason Dixon line is uninhabitable to anyone with the slightest amount if melanin. Modern technology makes it possible but it's unbearable.

@dj @Rasterman South of the Mason-Dixon Line was unbearable before air conditioning was invented. People talk about how America's dominance is due to its immense natural resources, but greatly downplay all the difficulties our forebears had to endure before they could reap the rewards.

Funny, Alaska's residents are able to live there even with all those obstacles. 🇺🇸

@VirginCrusader @Rasterman Natural resources (and hence, jobs) are far more readily abundant in the populated parts of Alaska than on the Canadian Shield.
