Explain Canada to me

It's fucking ice.

Fucking cold
Fucking expensive
Fucking chinese
Fucking incompetent government


Everything useful is buried under ice either all year or half the year

Imagine if your entire country had the climate of north dakota with a few minor exceptions on each coast and in a few pockets in your country.

Not during the entire year.

It's possible. Look at Moscow's winter climate. And that's a gigantic 16-million-person megacity.

Russia is an exception because they have very fertile land in the west and they have been around for hundreds of years longer. As much as Canadians wont admit it we hate the cold, everyone here is a bitch that can't stand it when it snows or gets under -10C. We actually had a plan to build a middle canada but it was scrapped by older Trudeau.

This guy had a great idea to develop our boreal forest region, the weather isn't great but it's livable. He wanted to build a culture around middle canada and send new immigrants to these cities. The main obstacle was the infrastructure, if we built these cities people may have just not gone to them.

yeah good luck sustaining cities on the shield and tundra, which make up over half the country.

Huh. That would have been an interesting plan. I've read that airlines would like to use Whitehorse as a sort of hub for great circle routes from North America into Asia, but it's just not a large-enough facility to handle that sort of thing.

95% of the country is frozen tundra wasteland. Just look at how fucking gigantic Quebec is, and most of it is, well, forest and tundra.

The money, the culture and the infrastructure just isnt there. It's a shame to because as the world gets warmer from climate change those areas are starting to seem more hospitable. That entire green region on that map is now full of small shitty towns with run down mills, mines and industrial plants and people that have alcohol and meth addictions. There was just never a big culture push for it, our government and people always advocated the bigger more urban cities. It's not getting better either, every fucking millenial scoffs at the notion of living in a place like Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina or Saskatoon like it's beneath them yet these places have great jobs and cheap houses.

>cheap houses
>good jobs
They're retarded 2bh.

>as the world gets warmer from climate change
the world is actually getting colder, the recent (on a geological timeframe) temperature upswings are an outlier

>>65733764
Well I agree with you but the weather in some of these places really really sucks.

Like it snowed in Regina today and they expect snow this week and in Edmonton they are already hitting the 0 Celsius mark.

For reference I live out west in BC (not vancouver) and it was a beautiful 18C today, almost warm enough for shorts. It will be this warm for the next month and by mid November it will get a bit colder but not as bad as the Prairies.

> Wouldn’t it be satisfying to know that we had a national goal, a national purpose for Canada? Such a goal exists in the creation of a second Canada

whoops, now we know why the antinationalist cuck's father shut it down

like fagget like son

Yeah Pierre fucking sucked, we're literally a meme country now, a more liberal america
