Fantastic video! Loved it! One point to add. around the 12: 00 mark you mention Toronto outpacing Montreal in population due to the completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1980's. what was left out was the FLQ Crisis of 1970 and the ensuing drive for Quebec separation from Canada. This slowly drove many of Canada's largest corporations, who's head offices were in Montreal, to relocate to Toronto. If there had never been the separatist issue in Canada then Montreal could very well still be the largest city in the country.

13: 30 this is not that important because winters are still to cold go grow things in the Great Lakes and most agriculture involves annual crops (rather than orchards/vineyards. And the growing season in a place like southern Minnesota is comparable to that of southern Ontario, is not warmer (and longer. Ex Orangeville, ON has a Jun-Sep average temperature of 17. 25C compared to Mankata, MN which has a growing season almost 3C warmer, and of comparable length (late May to late September, maybe early October.

I am Dane-zaa from the Peace Region. The soil is rich, and the Canadian government fraudulently stole that land from my ancestors and gave it to those settlers. I love that RealLifeLore talked about this region, but that development came at the subversive displacement of existing populations.
It is a beautiful land, and in my peoples language, called -Suunechi K'chige-, or, the place where happiness dwells.
Also, Edmonton has a great international food scene.

As an Australian who lives within 20km of the coast (central Sydney) it's baffling that such large settlements are inland. I realise inland Australia is far too dry for large settlements and any such settlements would take up the small percentage of arable land we have but you get my point. I of course know there are many large cities inland around the world but it still feels weird. Our largest inland city is Canberra at about 400k

It's weird how this guy always subtly suggests living in a concrete jungle on top of millions of other people is better than living in nature with no traffic, no stress, unimagineable views and outdoor recreation. Out in the mountains, no one cares what is going on in the coastal cities and it's beautiful.

Sounds like parts of Minnesota and North and South Dakota have similar chernozem soils and humid enough weather that the Canadian Aspen Parkland has though. And these areas of the US are not that sparsely populated. However, more towards Montana, Wyoming, even the western Dakotas, it's much less dense.

Man, you need to check your pronunciations before you publish these videos. -22: 00 it's pronounced Le-DUKE. not -duck-. There's a few of these throughout the video, such as Spokane, Sudbury, etc. Love the content, but these little things show you could be more thorough in your research!

LOL, Alberta has the SAME LIBERAL SICKNESS in our cities. our rural lands, however, have PLENTY OF GUNS! Driving 20 minutes out of ANY city in ANY direction is like a whole new world. or more accurately, the OLD WORLD all rational people want back! DIVERSITY IS CANCER!

The thumbnail is misleading. Comparing 1% of the USA population to 13% of Canada is deceptive. In real numbers, 1% of the USA is about 3. 32 million, and 13% of Canada is approximately 4. 97 million. The difference isn't as significant as the percentages suggest.

Just say all the land is controlled by posh white folk who are disconnected from reality. Everything is inflated in a certain way to only encourage an overly rich posh white man society. Everyone is fleeing the West and buying cheap on the East side.

It's not just oil. There's a big potash and uranium boom in Saskatchewan now, as well as strong immigration incentives for immigrants to come to Manitoba and Saskatchewan (which experienced a period of stagnation from the 80s to mid 00s.

Alberta is the richest part of Canada, but the majority of the votes are in Ontario and Quebec, and they keep electing federal governments that see Alberta as a cash cow to feed Quebec to keep Quebec from separating.

The moisture in the eastern US doesn't necessary come from the East. In most of the areas between the 96th and Appalachians, the moisture comes in significant part from the south/southwest, from the Gulf of Mexico.

Hearing Spokane pronounced as -spoh-cane- was pretty funny. It's certainly spelled in a way that looks like that should be it, but it's actually -spoh-can-, like the metal tin.

1% of Americans is still like 10x more people than 13% of canadians. Canada's population is minuscule.

Doing some basic demographic maths- 13% of Canadians and 1% of Americans is roughly 3. 5m people in both countries. It-s the same thing you numpty!

Honestly, despite all the evidence shown in this well researched video, Montana is completely full. Not satire. Not a joke. Occupancy is maxed.

US and foreigners are behind trying to steal Canada's wealth away, and that's through trying to take over Canada's Alberta provinces.
