although those figures are missleading

we have the 3rd largest landmass of any country, but we refuse to use most of it

the urban population of new york is 2 million higher, a million from buffalo, another million from other cities

well its cold XD

and its actualy 4th

the permafrost line is well into Nunavut!

not counting internal water, counting pure land, its russia china usa canada

counting internal water its russia canada china usa

distance, weather, and the cold.. big factors for that.

counting external water its russia usa canada china

I think northern manitoba and ontario would be the worst places to be in the winter...

but the usa is the only country that claims external water outside immediate coast that isn't immediately dismissed in doing so XD

we dont build any infra structure northwards. you go much more north in Ontario that Orillia and you will pretty much find nothing.

those deep polar colds that form there are just.. insane.

I flew over Manitoba once in the winter.. everything was just.. white.. everything. 🤣

i honestly think we need to work on expanding north. settling further apart, let new cities and towns grow.

or just continue being a beautiful mosaic untill you fall apart and america manifests some northward destiny

An invasion of canada would be seen as nothing less than taking candy from a baby

its not an invasion

by this point you have already fallen apart

ahh, missed that

fair enough.

somewhere between 20-25% of your population is first generation imigrants

I don't suspect the UK will save us 🤣

im not anti imigration but I suspect that will cause some problems

UK has it worse than us.

now? yes. But if we could reinvigorate the Canadian pride and culture that existed? not so much. we were one of the scourges in the world wars.

Population of Nova Scotia every 3 years.. yes.. that's going to have an affect.

We need to slow immigration, focus on rebuilding and strengthening the national identity. and working with our allies to defeat our common enemies. I'm looking at you China

i mean, honestly no memeing I could see the us and canada uniting in 20-30 years

in 45 years, what is Canada now, will be a minority.

I don't think it'll even take that long.

especially if they raise the rate to 500k/year

maybe less but probably not more

damn, this is getting a bit depressing .. 😅

The left would be all over it for sure... the right probably less so

or if you fix your shit the inverse XD

I give us a little more hope than that, but i will require good and strong leadership. and if not that, well knowing the people i know, it will be revolution before they let it all fall to pieces that badly.

I would tend to agree.

It won't be this election though, so maybe in 4 years.

I almost hope Trudeau wins.. so we can get this over with 😛
