I guess Lloydminster, Saskatoon and Prince Albert are not Canadian cities then.

Or Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, St. John's, Fredericton, Halifax, Charlottetown, Montreal, ...
I mean, it is the lions share of our population down there. And wouldn't Winnipeg be in it?
By the "Within 100km Range" then Winnipeg would be in it. By this image however it seems as though the highlighted area wouldn't reach Winnipeg.
Oh is that not what's depicted? TBH I have trouble getting a sense of scale with a weird slice of a continent like this.
quebec erasure
Maritimes erasure, too
idk wtf the maritimes and Quebec did to this guy
I am 50. I have lived in 5 different provinces over the decades. Never once have I lived on this map.
OPs image shows that they dont know where the prairie cities are.
Or Quebec and the Maritimes.
no no cornwall is as far east as it gets
damn, what a sad end
This is only missing like, what, 10 million people and 4 provinces?!
Room up there but what about good careers that aren’t in natural resources?
TIL I live North of Canada!
Well, just where exactly did you think the North Pole was, Santa?
Santa lives at H0H 0H0
Canada Post delivers!
I guess the good old usa would be represented by a thin left side and a thin right side, with a whole lot less in the middle.
Assuming that is 100km from the border, a country formed by that map would still be roughly in the top 30 biggest countries, about the land area of Egypt and significantly bigger than France or chile.
Edmonton checking in
Anti-Canadian propaganda!
Yeah but it's cold and groceries are expensive and amazon doesn't deliver.
I cancelled my (Amazon Canada) Amazon Prime account after I saw Bezos standing behind Trump at the inauguration.
None of us want to make Bezos and his plastic doll richer anyway.
Amazon delivers, just not same-day. I've lived north of 55' my whole life, and usually it takes 3-5 days.
~~Global warming...~~ ...er, I mean "Climate Change..." ...will take care of that first issue, and the cascade effect of humans moving northward due to such will take care of the rest.
Unfortunately climate change makes many northern communities, that are dependent in permafrost to allow trucks to pass, less accessible. At least in the short and medium term.
Why did you cross out global warming for “climate change”? (Genuine question, this seems a debate i have overlooked)
Global warming fell out of favor, while true: morr energy in the system, higher average temperatures; it confuses some people.
I.e. more energy means more extreme extremes. So cold events can also get worse and more frequent. To a lay person that's a contradiction.
Climate change gained favor as a more lay friendly name.
Also there was some idiot US congressman/senator who brought a snowball into the house as evidence that global warming was a hoax.
That I knew, but the phrasing seems sarcastic towards climate change, that’s mainly what i wanted clarity on.
Building on your answer, if the Gulf Stream were to break, Europe’s temperatures would drop, and at the moment there is still no understanding of how close we are to the Gulf Stream collapsing.
Let’s not forget this very real threat
The science is still very unclear, both from a modeling perspective (what are the pieces of the puzzle and how to connect them), a simplified perspective (what pieces are most important) and a theoretical perspective (what typical behavior should we detect close to the collapse).
Unfortunately, the latter one’s answer seems to be that close to bifurcations in statistical differential equations the variance of a system increases. Decrypting the math: close to a sudden change, we should experience a wider variety of events that usual, in particular more extreme events. This seems to be happening to the AMOC, but support for the claim is still weak and unclear (because the modeling is unclear, so we don’t know what pieces should be included in the problem).
To answer your question, it was indeed a sarcastic comment on the BS surrounding CC being somehow more politically acceptable than the truth of GW. I've never been a proud American (in part because of the truth in "pride goeth before a fall," even though I'm not religious), but I've never been less proud than I've been forced to become over the past couple of decades.
As the other commenter said, Global Warming fell out of favor because it underlines only one part of the full problem. The weather in most places is getting warmer, but other things are also happening connected to it: extreme events are becoming more and more common, such as drought, flooding and forest fires, that might not seem included in the wording global warming but is clearly described by climate change.
While that's true, in America at least the fact that average global temperatures are rising in large part due to human activities has been a significant point of contention with conservatives who seemingly instinctively deny responsibility for anything negative that they and/or their preferred policies are contributing to. They fought against "Global Warming" tooth and nail despite the documented facts. They more begrudgingly accepted "Climate Change" because it could at least be spun more easily into outcomes that didn't make them look so bad.
I see… thanks for explaining where you were coming from! I honestly only vaguely remember the times when Global Warming was the naming, and here countries are mostly springing in action when talking about the ramifications of Climate Change. Even if we hardly tackle the root cause… :/
I’m a fan of climate destabilization myself.
I feel like this only really works for Ontario. The majority of the population of Ontario is located in the South.
This map is a bad take on the joke that the "majority of Canada lives within 100km of the US border" -or whatever number. All that joke tells you is that the majority of the population are in the big metro areas surrounding Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. It doesn't mean most cities are within 100km of the border. The yellow area in the prairies has very few people, lol.
My Mercator projection map shows Canada is twice as big as the US.
Gotta love the magic of trying to map a 3D sphere into a 2D space. This article I just searched up seems at first glance to do a reasonable job of quickly explaining the reality.

How come no one is talking about Canadian beaches?
Very cool visualization.
Coastlines are fractals, so they're all infinite and therefore equal.
Some fractals are more infinite than others.
I was born and raised in Yellowknife so I guess I get to be an exception. That aside, I'm in agreement with the spirit of the meme. 15 or so years ago there was a lot of hullabaloo about Chinese "ghost cities." Well, those cities are populated now. Canada should be thinking (and doing) similarly.
I see Torontario but I don't kmow what that stuff to the west is.
Don't worry, it's all farm land and forest fires x)
If you go far enough, you get racism, followed by unaffordable housing.
