It's an old tradition that they don't like discussing with outsiders.

That's the Night's Watch.

Untapped infinite hog supply in the ocean

You ever heard of soudi arabias "the line"? Turns out they stole it from canada

I live inside that ring. Bought a 5 bedroom house for around $100k 3ish years ago. Been putting some work into it, hoping to sell in a couple years to move even deeper into the ring.

The biggest problem is employment. I got lucky and landed a great job that pays well. The second problem is cost of food as it highly depends on location. If I drive an hour south or east, I can reduce my food costs by around 30%. Not everyone has that ability because of the bigger problem. Gas price is the 3rd biggest problem, we're on average 20-30C more per liter than outside the ring.

Then there's the actual places. So many have very poorly run municipal governments that are full of the dumbest motherfuckers around who sink entire budgets into poorly thought out capital projects and raise taxes for decades after. Poor tax enforcement so that there are many properties with years in outstanding tax debt that doesn't get collected, which leads to even larger budget shortfalls and more tax increases. Every now and then I'll see a tax sale listed for $20k+ because the owner died and no remaining family could afford to claim the property because it the outstanding tax debt.

This is why I want to move into the bush where I have no neighbours, because at least the miniscule tax burden is less of a slap in the face when I look outside and see nothing coming back from it.

It really so they can strike the US at any moment.

Maple syrup?

Polar bears, obviously.

Or the government could just build trains out to there.

I saw a picture of a train station in China that had been built in the middle of nowhere. Stairs from the subway leading up onto a grassy field. The Americans all laughed at China for it. Then I saw a picture of that same train station five years later. It was in the middle of a metropolis. China has so much housing that there are entire cities sitting empty. Now, if a country with two billion people can manage that, Canada has no excuse.

This is how we get right-wing patriots to care about global warming. 'not only will Canada still be bigger than us, they'll have better resorts'

This big ass rock is in the way. Makes digging deep a big issue

Look at all that fertile land, the Aussies are so silly

The scribbled out Tasmania is pretty funny.

Edmonton is the farthest north you can go in the western hemisphere while still having over 1 million people, and yet we still have people that complain about the winters ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Also we hit +40C/104F last month so that was fun.

In my experience, using it as a dumping ground for anti-social alcoholics

Resource extraction. Lots of mining, oil further west, logging everywhere south of the arctic circle

It's full of bugs and terrible soil, also looks bigger than it is due to map distortions

And vanchoover
