We used a rope to the out house to find our way in the dark, but must have been blown off by high winds and lost his grip and way through the dark and died of exposure.

I stay in Vancouver 20 years now. I took a bus trip to Jasper once. Bought some fresh cherries on the way home. So I have experienced the 'nature' in Canada. Outlet mall in Bellingham Washington is nice to visit.
When I lived in Seattle 5 years, I remember seeing the Sunday night backups at the border with Canadians returning after a day at the mall in Bellingham. Canada has high taxes making their shopping uncompetitive with the USA.
Having seen what development encroachment can do to a wilderness area like in WA and OR, I would not be in such a hurry to develop your forests. Yes, it might be nice to have the economic might of 75-100 million, but since most people do not like Cold, it will lIkely just cause the current metro areas to balloon.
Big difference is that unlike in WA and OR, the forest in Canada is not suitable for agriculture so its going to be really hard to sustain a large population in that region.
Current metro areas in canada are already ballooning. I grew up in langley bc which is 20 min drive from Vancouver and when I was a kid there were huge patches of undeveloped forest in between, now it's all just one giant city.
isnt it also impossible to farm on the canadian sheild because ther is barely any soil? thats also stopping exansion. There are also lakes everywhere making it imposible to build a city
If the U.S. had conquered the Ontario peninsula in the two wars between the countries, would Canada have retained enough good land to be viable as a country?
Good question. If it was the Canada of today, then the answer is an easy yes as Canada's prairie region generates most of our food and constitutes the majority of agriculturally viable lands. However, back in the day, Canada was only Today's Ontario and Quebec - with the Ontario peninsula constituting the bulk of farming lands in the country. Had the Americans took over it, chances are the rest of English Canada would've fallen and Quebec managing a separate deal with the U.S. This is why the peninsula was where most attacks happened, and it's why Canadians and the loyalists defended it with all they've got. They knew if they lost it, there will be no Canada.
7:48 You missed the most important point - much of Canada beyond the 100 km from the US border is not suitable for agriculture. It was covered in ice for so long during the last ice age that the vegetation has not yet done its job of creating a type of soil that can sustain agriculture.
In the case of ontario the provincial government does next to nothing to to invest in development of the north. The vast majority of provincial spending on infrastructure and development goes to the city of Toronto where the average person thinks no one lives outside of the city.
You are correct however you are missing something here, the population of northern Ontario is far greater than that of Southern Ontario so if the tax dollars were to be spent evenly according to population I wouldn't have to travel some 6hrs South to Toronto or Ottawa just to get a cast put on a broken arm. We would have proper road improvements instead of just barely maintaining them and our municipalities wouldn't have to hold fund raisers just to make pay roll. The town I live in has put in requests to the federal and provincial governments for nearly 30yrs to get help replacing our sewer and water lines that have been in place since the 1800s and guess what not a dime sent.....so no definitely not an overstatement

Your basing your theory's on opion ,it's not factual. When the areas were first settled 1534 by France/ Jaques Cartier their was no borders. When new France owned land from Gaspe Peninsula to Florida to Manitoba. There were no Canada u.s. border.

As the natives traded with one another from Quebec to the costs, inland to as far as South America. The Europeans used the already roots used by natives, as some natives collaborated with explores. So the migration pattern was their before borders, and we all about the genicied history after natives helped white Europeans. The same goes for Nunavut/ territories and the far north. Inuvik people have been there for tens of thousands of years. INUVIK meaning " THE PLACE OF MAN" . So to say there is only mining is deception. I presume your from New Brunswick, by your video shot. I've lived every were in Canada. You should learn the true history. The same goes for the rest of the two countries you speak off. They were all areas of heavy population of indigenous people, that were taken by colonialists.
A great deal of the northern states were part of the British colony Oregon and Wash.Mon,North Dak.,Min.Wis.and more were part of this Canada and people in Can died fighting the colony south of us . It was given to the south by Britain to appease the revolutionaries from starting another conflict with Britain when it just finished one with France. So the people either moved north or became US citizens.The earth is for humans use not to worship it but use and care for it .The climate is always changing naturally not this made up crap about man made.
@@kevinwelsh7490 The British wanted the Columbia River to serve as the border. At the very least, I think Canada should have been given the land the north of the Skagit River, which would put the entire Fraser Valley and Mt Baker in BC.
All reasons are valid, however, the actual reason behind it is that after the American Revolution, the British wanted to defend Canada against an U.S. invasion (which was attempted multiple times and was a dream of many U.S. politicians of that time to push the U.S. borders up north), and therefore, the only logical way was to have a strong Canadian population within a small distance of the border to defend it.
"Why do Canadians live so close to the US border?" Because there is nothing in Canada. Canada has to rely on the US for everything. Including national defense.
It's basically a 800 mile horizontal latitude wide and 100 mile vertical longitude strip on habitable land suitable to sustain life. from Quebec City to Windsor.
THE original purpose of locating the Canadian population close too the Canadian USA border was British military planned operation. Remember Britian had lost their colonies in USA. France did the Louisiana Purchase with the United States. Britian and France fought continually. Finally England received New France now Quebec. Britian had a large colonial system to defend against other colonial powers. To say Canada is too cold too lice in and can only support a small population. Russian population 144,000,000 million. Canada 40 million maybe. Canada as a democratic nation is only 150 yrs old. Most Canadian's in the nicest way possible. Want a small population. Ya Canada is cold long winter's, not for the faint of heart. But we have citizens from all over the world living in Canada and making it their home. Be nice And Be safe

Alberta has the most opportunity to populate northward. There is farmland right up to the Northwest Territory border. When i was working and staying in northern Alberta, the winters are not much worse than central Alberta and the summers are hot.
Edmonton is the most northern city in the world over 200k, so yes, the landscape and resources and 2 cities more north than most, give it the greatest chance for northward expansion.
Most Canadians live on the south of the provinces because the middle and north of the provinces and all of the whole territories are very cold and makes farming impossible. Well, most Canadians live in the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Atlantic regions for good settlements and industry.
The most populated area is obvoiusly Southern Ontario, most likely in the Great Lakes region because the Great Lakes provide a lot of water and help get drinking water as possible. Like I thought, the lake for it's size is the most valuable water source on land.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE It's because of good land and climate, not the lakes. There's lots of densely populated areas that are not near major fresh water bodies.
I suggest that you do more research. You skipped many large cities that are far higher than you explained. And I suggest that you rebook at the temps again.
You don't seem to understand Canada in subtle yet important ways. I'll give you C+ on this report. Your lack of understanding of how Canada was created seems to cloud your overall perception. Knowledge of economic geography is also lacking.
Nice experience with ur video.Now u know due to global warming Canada can investment large infrastructure to explore more natural resources and become a super power.As far as human resources r concerned it can encourage more people to migrate from the poor countries like India .
Fortunately, global warming is ramping up. Canada can finally get rid of that pesky permafrost and cash in on some luscious, fertile agricultural land.
Global warming is very, very tiny in its temp increases, and only to decrease after a short period of increase The climate alarmists were worried about an ice age 50 years ago or a population bomb. The latest projections show a cooking period in the next 20-30 years. What will the alarmists preach next? Without fear porn, they have no platform, so try to convince people there is an existential threat- which is NOT TRUE.

@Ocean Blue Vancouver and Vancouver Island are considerably warmer than many northern climes in the US. It is quite ideal in climate, save for not quite enough sunny days.

Joebama is a putz idiot, who was never duly elected, but the US economy is still the best in the world (despite all the restrictions imposed by the Left Marxists), and our taxes are much less than Canada. I could happily live on Vancouver Island, but it has become prohibitively expensive, and BC govt became more CA-like with some of its policies. However, the tyranny during the fake "pandemic" was atrocious in Canada - especially, Ontario and Quebec, where the provincial premiers channeled their inner Hitler. Pathetic! The Canadian Constitution does not have the same provisions of protection against govt overreach/tyranny that the US Constitution affords - and even with that, blue state tyrants still violated numerous provisions, and Nancy Pelosi and her gang, are trying every day to erode it.

If the whole country was run like Alberta, it would be great, but unfortunately, you have a lot of Lefty socialists in other provinces and Ottawa, that do not think similarly.
