Why Canadians REFUSE to Live Past This Point 🇨🇦 

Also, almost all the cities in Canada are on large bodies of water or rivers (= transportation). In addition to the much colder weather further north - don't forget to mention THE BUGS. Awful, awful bugs. When you aren't freezing your butt off, you are being eaten alive by bugs....just nasty.

@@floyd2222 There are many rivers everywhere in the north ; those were used for centuries by the First Nations. There was even later the Fur Road, a boat waterway that connects Tadoussac to Hudson Bay. Travellers (trade agents) used it to travel to regions where fur animals were abundant. They could move from one trading post to another, meeting the First Nations people with whom they exchanged. If people had had the need to go establish communities further north, they could have used those. Also, there was flies probably everywhere north of the Saint-Laurent river during colonisation days. It's a known fact that it was at least the case in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. Only the recent use of pesticides during the last fifty years reduced it for tourisme reasons in the Laurentides... It is true that black flies season in May and June was really unbearable, I was working near Mont-Tremblant during summers in the 1970's, but first settlers had no choice if they needed the land for important establishment. Since the population was small, they didn't and we still don't today.

The main reason northern Quebec is empty is because it is mostly Native land. Indigenous people take care of the land which is why northern Quebec is empty. In other provinces, you will see that that the north is developed. Most Canadians live in large cities which happen to be near the border. Most Canadians live in southern Ontario because it is the warmest part of Canada. There are fewer Canadians living in the north due to the amount of rivers and lakes that form Canada. Canada has over 2 million lakes (too many to get an accurate count) . It makes it hard to put in highways and railways in the north.

In eastern Canada there is little to no fertile soils that far north, being mostly rock. But if you come out west, there is lots of fertile soil in the nothing, but there is far too much water. Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan are nothing but millions of lakes, Alberta has lots of Forrest, and in fact, you can still get free land by way of the Homestead act. You have to clear the land and erect permanent structures but you can still get a homestead. The biggest problem, apart from the animals, is the very short growing season. PLUS, a distinct lack of infrastructure, social supports and civilization, but you can get a homestead. Now, with Global warming being a thing the weather might not be as nasty as it was when I was a kid, but you're sill Going to see -50 periodically and there won't be a gas line and electricity to your homestead, so you'll be living a 19th century lifestyle. Those are the biggest reasons for not living north of 200 mile mark. Now there are cities north of 200 miles, but they are not nearly the size of cities in the south. The same for Alaska. Things simply cost more the further North you go. The weather gets colder, the summers get shorter, and then there is the seasonal days. The sun stays up longer in the summer, and shorter to almost nonexistent in the winter. And the absolute biggest issue for people in the far north, SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Because the sun, I the winter is almost nonexistent, you basically have several months of darkness, if affects a person mentally to the point of going into a deep depression. People try to combat I with special lamps that give off full spectrum light in order to combat that depressive disorder. But really, those lamps don't always work, and there is only one way to prevent it. Don't live so far north. But in western Canada, there is a lot more Northern communities than in the east, we're more open minded.

​@@oculusangelicus8978If you carefully read my comment and the others that I posted under, they were only about here and I did so because his video is taking place here, on Quebec territory. Everything you wrote is great. I don't think it concerns my commentary though. If not already done, you should post it directly under the video for everyone to read. One thing : I don't really understand why you finish your commentary by saying "we're more open minded"... Frankly, I don't know if you want to be offensive or not but if so, it's totally uncalled for ! Despite our differences, we should honor that wherever they came from or whenever they came here and despite all the flaws of colonization, all of our ancestors were all brave, resilient and somehow... open-minded.

Canadians would live there if they were allowed.

As a fellow Canadian, I’d say you nailed it, it would be nice to see more growth and prosperity, but we live in a huge, beautiful country 🍁🥰

Also maybe the bears loll

That's why the massive Punjab, Paki invasion to Canada is helping to change all that empty land into an overpopulated third world country , isn't Great .

Land is inhabited by Indigenous Peoples.

@gamerslust6533 He has a right to a bit of a break sometimes. We all need one whether we live in a car or a house! He can't please all of the people all of the time. As long as he is safe is the main importance!😊👍🧡

Arselan IS The man.

Thanks Google

@@petemalelis3037 Wrong, thanks ChatGPT and that is still more than you have contributed...

@@chrish9388 contribution...right

@@petemalelis3037 Yes, you should give it a try

So...were indigenous ppl pushed further into those areas showing less population, away from Montreal?

🤣

That was good! 😂😂😅

Technology is advancing. But mankind remains more or less the same: greedy and selfish. So, the 1st principle in travelling alone is to keep alert for own safety as far as possible🙏

@@cathylee7355 province of quebec is abnormaly not dangerous theres no need to be on alert i swear

S A M E 😂

He yelled like a girl! He is a feminine type of a guy😉

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So freaking right! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Mary! Glad you're enjoying the travel content! ❤️

The indigenous population who lived in those remote regions were doing perfectly fine until the British arrived and killed 90% of them with disease and guns, and took control of the land so the remaining 10% couldn't hunt or fish anymore, making them dependent on farm food that has to be flown in.

138 is my favourite way to get from Montreal to Quebec even if it takes twice as long as taking the 40.

BTW, you don't always have to be staying in a campground (municipal or private) to use a coin-operated shower but, wherever you're showering in Canada, bring a little shower bag with you (shampoo, razor, soap, etc.) and a towel.

He needs to work as a nurse though, to keep up his skills, especially as a new grad.

@@heenanyou I’m a retired nurse and what I learned over the years is the endless types of career opportunities for RNs and most of them are willing to train you!!! Following the call of his heart is so important! You can always work as a nurse because of the nursing shortages but you can’t always be so young and be in touch with yourself.

Russia is the only country larger than Canada and has similar areas of vast, remote spaces. Weather is the common denominator with Canada :D Nonetheless, gulags helped populate Russia's north but both countries also have mining to industrialize remote areas. Canada's First Nations and Inuit people populate many areas of Canada's north as well but, even like Australia (and other countries with rather extreme climate), it's has 100s or 1000s of km of relatively or entirely unpopulated spaces.

Cheap? What is cheap?

@alisonbarratt3772 On a budget price. If he needs some proper rest and security. He takes one in his next video. Thank God!👍👏😊

Hey Arslan, You ain't seen nothing yet ... Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 Montreal? Mont Tremblant ❤️I'm in Ottawa the capital. 4hr drive to Quebec city... Many people live north in Ontario...keep exploring. Chat me up if you come to Ottawa

Maybe it’s less expensive? Or faster travel? He is on vacation and wants to relax. He did drive his vehicle across the country and back. Maybe it needed some major repairs? I’m wondering why he doesn’t buy a lightweight camping pad to sleep on. If backpackers can carry one, there are plenty of options to make his travels more comfortable. Plus, he went right by a dollar store… grab a small bottle of shampoo. You don’t have to keep it. 😉 Love your positive attitude and content @solarcampercar ❤

Probably cause he doesn’t want it torn apart by cbsa lol

He said. "To save money"

wow this awesome 👏 I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how do I make such weekly??

@@babytruca02Maria Angelina Alexander I really appreciate her efforts and transparency.

I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.

My outlook on money changed when I realized someone making $200K can retire broke & someone making $80K can retire a millionaire. With the current market movement.

Me too I thought the exact same thing! Perhaps he was French Canadian in a past life! lol

We also don't have a population of 320 million people. We have the same population as the State of California.

I am sure You Tube pays very well. He has a very large following. Plus he can credit card it and pay it off later...for some the American way. ❤I love that he is falling his dreams.
