This seems like a fun math game. Grise Ford is at 76.4 deg north, and the northernmost point of Mexico (near Yuma, AZ) is at 32.7 deg north, for a difference of 43.7 (45 would be half the distance from the equator to the pole). Round up to 44 and split in half, add 33+22, and your hometown is at most 55 deg north. I guess it depends on what part of Canada. In Ontario and Quebec, 55N is the middle of the Canadian shield, a maze of lakes with no roads and almost no settlements (looking at satellite view, because I don't know the area). But out west on the prairie, Edmonton is 54N and while as a USian, I consider it the great white north, it has roads and towns all the way there. And settlements continue further W and N into BC. I have a friend in Ft St John at 56N. Ultimately, there are several roads (more recent) going up to the arctic Ocean (69N at Tuktoyktak, NT, and 71N at Barrow, Alaska). I do get your point though, Canada stretches far north and has lots of empty areas and small communities with low connectivity to the rest of the country. After all, Canada is the second largest country by land area.
