America isn’t any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border
Not so fun fact: if American border patrol agents stop you within the 100 mile zone, they can ignore parts of the fourth amendment and perform what would normally be illegal search and seizure
No one lives in the Maritimes and Newfies are a figment of our imagination?
Tbf, the Newfies I’ve met certainly feel like a figment of my imagination.
Ayyyy one of the 15% that doesn’t live near the border checking in 😎
How’s the weather up there?

85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the American border. And yous claim you don’t want to be part of them.

We stand on guard.
The average Canadian
Yes, but instead of guarding against white walkers from the north it’s pedos from the south.
What exactly are you guarding? I figure there’s a reason not many people live outside of that area depicted.
The guards are facing south.
Have you seen Game of Thrones?
The canadian shield is a rough and rugged strech of land of exposed rock intermixed with swamps. It covers most of the north/central eastern part of the country and it is very difficult and expensive to build settlements on. It also only provides a few pockets of farmland. The land closer to the border is more hospitable for settlements and farming.
If anything, this proves how much Canadians don’t want to be Americans.
Canadian weather is shitty, you can’t grow crops for most of the year. During the fraction of the year where the climate is suitable for growing crops, the variety of things that grow is small compared to what’s possible in the US. And, as bad as winter can be, summer’s no good either. You don’t want to be outside in the winter because it’s -30, and you don’t want to be outside in the summer because it’s +35. The cost of living in Canada is high because you need to heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. Almost everybody drives a car because of that “being outside sucks” thing, but cars are expensive to own and operate in Canada. There’s the cost of winter tires, more expensive winter fuels, antifreeze in the windshield washer, plus the constant freeze/thaw cycle wrecks the road surfaces, which results in potholes, which results in more wear and tear on cars. In addition, to make driving safe they drop a lot of salt and sand, which just rusts your car. Because the country is a thin strip, everything is far away, and everything communications-related is expensive. And, a low population relative to the US means that a lot of companies just don’t offer services in Canada because it isn’t worth it to comply with Canadian laws just to get the same number of customers you could get from a single American state. I could keep going on and on.
Yet, despite all that, Canadians huddle up as close as possible to the border for warmth, but refuse to go any further south because that would mean entering the US. As bad as Canada’s climate is, putting up with that is an easy decision to make when the alternative is 'Murica.
Meanwhile they have wheatfields 4 hours north of Edmonton. Posts like this always remind me how much I hate most Canadians and their whiny, weak, entitled, arrogant, half clever bullshit.
Ooh, wheat! Great. What about fruits? They’re important for a balanced diet.
It turns out that Canada imports 50% of its vegetables and 75% of its fruit.
But do go on, tell me how Canada’s climate isn’t limiting in what it can produce domestically.

oh look it’s you.
Give it a rest dude, go touch some grass.
Some mindless blather about fruit is all you got? There’s fucking vineyards in Saskatchewan.
Give it a rest dude, go touch some grass.
