Canada is actually really huge, is what I'm saying here.
- dylan604 6y agoI had a co-worker that would say "Only a Canadian would brag about how big Canada is because the majority of it is empty land". What percentage of Canadians live within a short distance to the Canada/US border? 95%? More? This guy also tried to brag about how many Canadians live further south than a portion of the US citizens with Toronto being further south than Portland/Seattle/Minneapolis/etc. The thing that always impressed me growing up was how big Alaska is after the first time I saw it overlaid onto the rest of the US. A quick web search found a fun site: https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/germany/alaska-usa https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/germ...
- adventured 6y agoAbout 3/4 of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of their southern border with the US.
- bluedevil2k 6y agoNo, it’s 90% of the population. https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-Canadians-live-within-100-miles-of-the-US-Canada-border https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-Canadians-live-with... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/5/5/11584064/canada-population-map https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/5...
- mabbo 6y agoWe cling to them for warmth
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoI’m going to justify eating a donut by telling myself I’m keeping you warm.
- bregma 6y agoBut the cream floats to the top.
- brailsafe 6y agoSure, only a Canadian would know how incredible it is to have such a vast expanse of incredible and diverse terrain that makes for interesting cultural differences between the pockets where people concentrate. I don't know if bragging about the entire country's people per sq/km makes as much sense, save for on a city level. I love many parts of the U.S for this as well, but the places that are unencumbered by hoards of people are much more scarce imo. In Canada it's easy, just go up.
- naniwaduni 6y agoUp is pretty unencumbered by hoards of people in most places! But in Canada, you can just go north ;)
- mabbo 6y agoGiven the climate change going on (everything is getting warmer) having the ability to just keep going north is going to come in handy. I've heard we're growing corn much further north than we ever did in decades past.
- woofie11 6y agoAnd if you put India over the South Pole, it covers the whole world. System's buggy is all I'm sayin'. It's pretty, but I don't trust it for much of anything.
