Trying to understand Canada
Oh so in Geography they never really explained Canada. I looked on Google maps and it looks like Canada is separated into Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Colombia, and then above all of that is a bunch of territories. So I understand that the lower area is easy to identify WHERE in canada someone lives by naming one of those 7 lower "states". I looked on a map and there are "freeway" looking roads that seem to travel through the middle of nowhere. They go up, down, around, and finally years later connect to some distant place....
So it looks like there is a vast amount of uninhabited land even in those lower 7 sections.
Which one of those is the most populated?
Is there a preferred one?
Whats up in those "territories"?
Anyone ever travel up there?

Rep Power: 316 We call them Provinces. The most populated Province would most likely be Ontario, then British Columbia. (they are the largest) I don't think anyone here will say which Province is a prefered one .... most people were brought up living in one of them so to them thats the prefered one. In the Terrotories, you'll find cold, snow, and in a few areas, no sunlight for a long time (due to the Northern location) I have never been. Someone correct me if I'm innacurate. Hope this helps Rufus.
Canada's population is around 30-32 million
Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has a population of around 3 million... Thats close to 10% of the country's population being in or around one city.

i love ontario , if i lived in PEI or nova scotia i dont know what i'de do with myself, but i guess if you grow up in those places then u know how to have a good time.... and as for trying to understand CANADA... iwanna understand the States....why do we have to pay tolls liike every 30minutes
New York State has tolls like a muthafvcka...And basically Canada's main population areas are along the southern areas of canada, Southern BC and South Western Ontario to east Ontario...And from not directly looking at a map, Green Bay/Milwauke is more north than Eastern Ontario(ottawa, if not on the same line.
The area line of Green Bay or north is where Canada can really be considered 'the great white north.' The southern areas of Canada gets about the same amount of snow as NY, Boston or Buffalo. Infact so far we have only seen 1 or 2 days of snow this season, and it is already melted.
But my neighbour Doug has a pet polar bear...you should see that thing, it is aboot the size of a small SUV

Rep Power: 0 i dont know, i went to pittsburgh and while driving there we would get on highways or interstates whatever they are called we'de get a card and then in like 5 miles we'd have to pay for some ****... i dont know... i dont tihnk we have that in canada...maybe in quebec but ive never been there
I co-worker used to live in Alberta and he was just saying the coldest day he remember went to -52 degrees Celsius, or -61 degrees Fahrenheit taking the windchill into consideration. Thats damn cold!!
However Alberta is a rich province due to the fact that they have oil fields. I think they have the lowest taxes in Canada because of this.
As for our "freeways", the most known one in Ontario is the 401. It can take you from Windsor Detroit, all the way up to the provence of Quebec.
