Canada benefits from the fact that almost nobody wants to live in the fucking cold, so most people live near the border, but the US does not have that tendency

many places are unaccessable

M8 your country fits into the area of a major American city and surrounding suburbs

and yet our roads are tiny... it can take hours just to get 20miles (as the crow flies)

Right but that's a management problem, not a geographical one

So you guys are saying we should be more like the Lobsters?

In NA there are areas you can only get to via one or two roads, and those roads arent always open year round

Because the cost of building good infrastructure for a small mining or logging town in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is immense

There's no possible ROI on it

you can get problems going to somewhere like cheddar https://www.visitsomerset.co.uk/imageresizer/?image=%2Fdbimgs%2Fcheddar%20gorge%20spot.JPG&action=PageHeader

some areas are only accessible via cable cart

much more evened out

prime real-estate when the sea levels rise too much

pff, we owned the sea several times already

in fact we KILLED a sea!

Who can say that? 😛

did you know most of central london is already several meters below sea level?

I live in a lake

Whats this "above sea level" you refer to? 😛

🤔

That's what, like a 3h drive? That's less time than it takes for me to visit my grandmother, and she lives relatively close

3h drive and i'm in a different country, with a different language 😦

It takes like 7 hours to reach some towns on the highway at full fuckoff speed, and they're of even a third of the way up the province

Half my country is below the sea 😛

I live in a mountainous region that is also huge

And quite often the nearby facilities don't have what people need, so they have to come all the way down to the border

apparently my flat (at least the ground floor) is 2.69metres above sea level

So the Taliban is on Twitter?

All I see are anti-Taliban accounts.

I saw Tim's tweet about the obese model thing and just remembered I saw this from Clickhole

It's a bloody perfect summary

wow she seems fatphobic
