It's not forested, first you have the boreal forest in the south, then the taiga, light vegetation but mostly empty plains then tundra the cold unvegetated plains. Not many people live there because there's nothing to do, the land doesn't have a big carrying capacity and getting goods there is expensive. Mostly natives live there.

How does anyone live there if everything is so expensive? What do they do for a living that pays enough to afford all that?

Qimmeq!

>>67954317
in a distant future, millions of people are going to live there

I would guess local fishing isn't as expensive, fish used to be the main source of food for natives that north too. But also welfare and natives don't have to pay any form of taxes.

>>67956122

natives get free money and free housing

non-natives usually have lucrative jobs in government or resource extraction. You also can get a tax credit for food if you live in the North.

>How does anyone live there if everything is so expensive?
They don't 'live' per say. All you can do is work or stay inside 9 time out of 10. It's a miserable existance.
>What do they do for a living that pays enough to afford all that?
Geologists and meteorologists usually.

This is the "uncharted wilderness" up there

seems pretty fun to just like build your own place in this wast wilderness, live by yourself. For the first like 3 months

are the locals tend to steal stuff? Are they agressive? Is the land cheap? Can I just go there build my stuff and be never found out?

Its not that cold people go outside here, theres just no jobs so nobody lives there

>>67958067
You would die before 3 months.

The Yukon is the only livable part of the Territories.

>>67958343
Yep. Pretty much everything up there is just a big, freezing cold, rocky desert. Maybe you could survive by yourself in the Taiga forests to the south of there, but you would have to know what you're doing

There's supposed to be some, but I don't think there's many companies actually trying to get at it

I met a lab tech who was doing bench work for oil companies in Yellowknife. He was making $120K / year and splitting a 3 bedroom house with two other guys for $3,000 / month each.

He flew to Florida every chance he got.

No forest, just pic related

Comfy and unsettling at the same time

Everytime I think of the North I'm reminded how much potential it had, and how Trudeau's piece of shit father ruined it for us

Shell abandoned their arctic oil project because you need it to be at like $140/barrel to be profitable
