Most people want to live in or close to bigger cities. Canada is big, but ~85% of the population lives within 100 miles of the border. Once you get far enough north, which is not that far, there's much more limited infrastructure (and everything else).
- notatoad 3y agoeven within 100mi of the border, there's not even close to a shortage of space to build housing. land is not scarce. Even in the GTA or Vancouver metros there's plenty of buildable land.
