Whitespace pride! (Okay, only by a bit in my case. I wonder if we have any Yellowknifers)
Also the whole East Coast
I’m just happy the line on the west is so thick and dark. I’m not used to this kind of representation for the Island and I’m loving the token charity there.
Oh shit, Newfoundland left again and took NS, PEI and maybe NB with them, I didn’t even notice.
Canada looks like a shit gun.
It’s Legendary though and will cost you $1867 to unlock.
I was thinking a gun from warframe
Native Tribes in Canada: “Hey can you give back the rest then?”
Canada: “Lol”
Canada : “holding it for the Clovis people”
Canada is the north side of the st. Lawrence river, everything else is just that area’s backyard
I think that if climate change causes a lot of snow in the north to melt, it will create a lot of new arable space further north that people could potentially migrate to (even from other countries, eg climate migrants from the inhabitable equator)
(disclaimer: never been to Canada)
We’ve been choked by forest fire smoke every summer for a few years now. I hear some of the boreal forest that burned down is coming back as plains. Also, interestingly, we never stopped clearing new farmland around the high 50’s of latitude.
It’s really noticeable already as far north as I am. People will talk about how freakish the weather has been here, and then suddenly get quiet if anyone says “climate” instead of “weather” because it’s oil country and they still want to be on the denier train. Man, humanity is depressing sometimes.
The flip side is that the traditional breadbasket areas in the center-west of this strip are basically turning into desert.
It would probably be extremely swampy for a long time. All that time it would release a tremendous amount of methane.
I mean, it’s already swampy. Canada has the band of current habitability shown, followed by muskeg (frozen swamp) and boreal forest for most of it’s area, followed by a strip of tundra along the coast (and continuing into all those giant uninhabited islands). Swamps are actually carbon fixers, though; it’s the process of a swamp drying out and the exposed plant matter rotting that’s the problem.
The tundra bit has permafrost that will thaw and rot into pretty pure methane, which is bad, but that’s in line to become new boreal forest next rather than new farmland.
Sounds to me like a great energy opportunity, natural gas is totally green energy right? /s
Just put a great big garbage bag over the country and start sucking.
Hmm true
Could have just included the Ontario part snd Vancouver Island and it would still be true lol.
Vancouver is not on Vancouver Island.
According to whose geography?
? It’s just a fact. The urban agglomeration commonly known as Vancouver (any of them) is not on the large, west-coast island known as Vancouver island.
I suspect you’re trolling.
Well he landed there. But he’s not there now, not for a while. Nor the town: that’s on the mainland (aka the Big Island with Moncton and New Denver on it) .
Fun fact: there’s a Victoria Island but Victoria isn’t there either, the person nor the town.

There are 4 variations on the word but none end in -le.

… And only the first one’s the right one. #dieOnThisHill

They “reappropriated”, and re-wrote, a ton of french words. As is their right, because all words are made up anyway

As was explained in the link I provided.
“Tabarnak” (or its variants) is a Quebecois French swear word. In essence, it’s a profanity that derives its power from its connection to the Catholic Church. The word is derived from “tabernacle,” which in the Catholic faith is the sacred vessel that contains the consecrated host, representing the body of Christ. In Quebec, where Catholicism once held significant sway over society, the word “Tabarnak” has evolved into a potent exclamation, used to express a range of emotions, from anger and frustration to astonishment and awe.

Quebec =/=Utah.
They’re not Canadian. They’re Quebecois, remember?
And the Vancouver mainland. And Montreal I guess.
Fuck Calgary though
Just outline the GTA and call it a day.
I am sure some US hardliners see the map and wonder how is this country still independent.
These positions are not defensible from military perspective.
C’mon, it even looks like a rifle
Who would be insane enough to invade a country, that already looks like a weapon?Careful how you phrase that, I heard a militia of collectors is forming to capture the biggest depiction of a gun in the world
You want to know why Canada still exists despite having a fraction of the manpower or military of the United States?
It’s because the United States likes Canada. We think they’re fun to have around.
Do you guys actually think about us that much?
The War of 1812 disagrees.
That took place entirely in the Great Lakes area. The other bit was still very, very Native.
Also, we like to take credit for that, but that was basically the British Empire fighting for one of it’s colonies, and IIRC most of the British soldiers involved were not from here.
No, we’re going back to the North Atlantic triangle days if the US goes funny like it appears to be going.
Touche but US capabilities are now that of a global empire, all of Canada is within few hundred mile from US border and its core literally cuts into the US while power disparity is wider than Ukraine/Russia.
Nobody who knows much seriously thinks we’d win a conventional war. We could slap together nukes pretty quickly, but we’d probably rather just get annexed. Our defences are all diplomatic.
Trump did call Trudeau governor of the great state of Canada yesterday and suggested it should become the 51st state a ~week ago
dude is too stupid to understand why he should not do it.
until i hear some GOP chaney and kissegeer types, i aint worried.
Yeah, I’m not worried about imminent invasion either. A trade war will already basically cause chaos, though, and it could escalate from there. Hopefully the government is up to the task.
The real anarchy would be to make Canadians live anywhere BUT what’s on the map
As someone who is not living in this map, please no I like it here.
it would be, no internet.
IIRC one of the 19th century presidents basically campaigned on that, at least as far as the western side was concerned.
54/40 or fight!
They’re gonna have to take that ocean pearl out of my cold, dead hands.
Apparently Polk never actually campaigned on it, though; it was just around the same time. It seems the British version was going down to the 42nd parallel, and the actual result of the 49th is pleasingly near the midpoint.
I’m a Canadian and I would have to drive ~8 hours to end up on that map.
Excellent. I’m cut out from there so I can make my own country.
It’s fucking cold any further up there though.
Winnipeg here … we were doing fine until this last Sunday when we got a shit ton of snow and last night it was -42C (almost the same in F) with the wind chill.
But summer and fall were both longer and warmer than usual. Forecasters up here are having some difficulty with predicting anything more than a day or two in advance.
Just give it a few years.
Enh, it’s not so bad
Signed,
Further up there
How much further up there are you?
Right in line with moscow, latitude-wise
Fort Mac?
Close enough :)
