Milo and POTUS posted:Is there one of those population dot maps but for Canada? Or even one of those racial dot maps for Canada?   Presumably there are more maps like this for other Canadian cities, but a cursory googling didn't yield any immediate results e: also the first map obviously isn't as granular as the American maps by far, I very much doubt that for example the population Northern Ontario with its mighty two people per square mile is that evenly distributed that there is no room left for green at all. e2: this map is better, though it could stand to be a bit higher resolution:  e3: I also found this interesting map:  There's some small Category B areas in southern Yukon Territory, I wonder if they are actually used for agriculture System Metternich fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 6, 2018 |

System Metternich posted:There's some small Category B areas in southern Yukon Territory, I wonder if they are actually used for agriculture There is some (very) small scale agriculture both in southern Yukon and around some of the larger communities in the NWT. The growing season is very short but that's mitigated a bit by the extremely long days. According to Statscan the biggest crops are hay and oats but you can get potatoes and some other hardy vegetables. Most of the local meat would be hunted but there's a fair amount of farmed chicken/eggs.

At large scale, they'll tend to look very similar.
