Somewhat a truth though... While a the US has two dimensions on a map, Canada essentially has one. 80% of us live within a few hundred miles of the northern US border, i.e. the 49th parallel and it's Ontario/Quebec equivalent. (Other than Edmonton... ;-) ) Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax all have hub-n-spoke type operations serving points North. Vancouver -> Whitehorse/Sandspit/Prince George/Smithers etc. Calgary/Edmonton -> Peace District, NWT, Nunavuut? Winnipeg -> Flin Flon/Thompson Toronto -> Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, Sudbury etc. Montreal -> Northern Quebec Halifax -> Nfld/Labrador, St. Johns, Saint John, Moncton etc. Most folks have never heard of the smaller places, but they are Geographical/Economically and c/o of AC connect via transportation to today.
