Why is Canada so Empty? #shorts

Why is Canada so empty?

Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world, and nearly as big as the entire continent of Europe. However, despite this massive size, it has a population less than that of Ukraine.

So, how does Canada have such a small population? Well, most of Canada’s land simply has too harsh of a climate for human habitation. On top of this, a large portion of Canada is unusable for agriculture.

This has resulted in a vast majority of the population being concentrated pretty close to the United States Border, where you can find the best farm land, as well as the most temperate land in the entire country.

This region in specific, known as the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, covers less than 2% of Canada’s land area, but houses more than 50% of Canada’s total population. And the main reason for this is that this region has the best farmland, as well as the best climate in all of Canada, due in part to the great lakes. Major Canadian cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City all fall in this region.

80% of Canada is uninhabitable? I think the Inuit just left the chat.

That's somebody that lives in British Columbia it is quite funny to hear you stating that Ontario and Quebec have the best weather hahaha

[marcinkusiak]

Fact: Just Tokyo, the capital of Japan has almost as many people as Canada.

I hear it gets so cold in Canada, bank accounts freeze.

Northern Canada isn’t necessarily uninhabitable, the weather just gets cold, you can actually find smooth white hills which are mesmerizing to observe 😮

As a Canadian I feel proud of our population, were not that overpopulated or lesspopulated.

BC has best weather - too humid in Ontario with harsh winters

[moosefactory]

As an American I was very concerned that the reason so many Canadians were that close to the US border is they were planning to invade. Now that I know the real reason, I can now sleep at night.

Great video, but correction on the best climate and weather in Canada, you can find that in Southern BC and Vancouver Island, where winters and summers are mild.

Canada is such a fascinating country so close to the US but also so close to the end of the world

[Pigzillarealstuff]

This is kinda the same with Australia, it’s one of the largest countries but has a smaller population than North Korea

I still love this country Canada 🇨🇦, I will always do until I die. ❤

[lesliemccormick]

As a Canadian, the fact that we have less population is why we aren't as mental as some overcrowded places.

[idkdabest]

More then 20% of Canada is “habitable” although the 80% has extreme cold temperatures people still live in those areas of Canada.

[joaomenegalebarbi]

I live in Montreal, and if what we have here is good weather, I don’t even want to imagine what happens in the inhabitable lands.

I think its populations quite a bit more than Ukraine now 💀
