I wish I could move to Tuktoyaktuk
How Eastern Canada and BC thinks Canada looks like.
Drives me nuts that Ontario is considered “Eastern Canada”
LOL! I believe the Quebecois along the St. Lawrence should be included.
FTFYWinnipeg has almost a million people!!
And the spots I left there have like 35 million
Peggers represent
Jesus Christ!!!
Snort STRAP IN…OR ON…OR BOTH
They come south for less life threatening healthcare
Huh so that’s what the 401 looks like
Fun Fact, a lot of North Dakotans live higher north than half of Canadians.
If I understand correctly based on a map and Wikipedia, the concept of “a lot of people” does not exist in North Dakota, though.
I had never heard of the city of Bismarck, their state capital of more than 70 thousand inhabitants, a bit over 10% of the state’s population. But, now I do. I also had not thought there can be a state capital with that little population. (And then this made me curious and I learned that in Germany the smallest state capital is Schwerin, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and it has about 98 000 inhabitants in a state of 1½ million inhabitants.)
Speaking of Germany, Bismarck is named after Otto von and when he was still alive! Greater Bismarck includes Mandan too, so it’s a bit more like 100k+ people in the area, but yeah it’s pretty small. Lots of the middle west is like that. They need to be consolidated into a single state for the senate lol
Awesome trivia! Thanks! :)
The subset is a lot of and the set is North Dakotans.
If you have a room of ten people a lot of them can have things in common.
Don’t worry, I did already understand this :)
Trenton, NJ, the most densely populated state in America, only has 91k. This represents only 1% of the population, versus 10 in ND. I’m not sure how it is around the country, but of the capitals of NJ, NY, PA, none are amongst the most populated cities in the states. And I don’t really care about the rest of the states (and I like Mass, but it doesn’t fit my example), so that’s that.
You’ve certainly piqued my interest in regard to populations of capitals v. the states they represent.
EDIT: And the first search result on the Google is from a Reddit post from seven years ago, listing 17 states in the US where the capitals are the most populated cities. With a map, because who doesn’t like pictures?
EDIT 2: I’ll just take this opportunity to spout some nonsense I like to spout: NYC (at least Manhattan, but maybe even out to Montauk, but of course excluding garbage ass Staten Island) and Philadelphia should be part of NJ, as they have more in common with NJ than they do their own states. Upstate NY and pretty much the entirety of PA are rural hick people. And sure there’s some exclusions, Pittsburgh, the finger lakes, Rochester, but for the most part, rural hick people.
It’s not my fault my parents had me in the lower mainland, what am I gonna do, move north?
Yes, but it’s on provincial governments to build new cities north with tax money from the south.
It’s because the rest is all degens from upcountry.
Accurate.
Ayyyy one of the 15% that doesn’t live near the border checking in 😎
How’s the weather up there?

As if I’ve traveled that much
They’ve played the game “Risk” so much they have unrealistic expectations of settlement patterns in real life
America isn’t any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border
Not so fun fact: if American border patrol agents stop you within the 100 mile zone, they can ignore parts of the fourth amendment and perform what would normally be illegal search and seizure
Lake Michigan isn’t a border…
It is a border between wet and dry.
Due to the Straits of Mackinac, the CBP considers it to be so.
I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.
Why do the straights count?
Because they want more jurisdiction and got it.
That would still make Chicago. The third largest city in America further than 100 miles from the border.
I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.
Considering the relative surface areas, with those percentages you provided, actually, yes, America is less consolidated.
The United States also has eight times the total population. I only saw one source that said 40% and the overwhelming majority said either 2/3 or something in the low 70%
Could it be that one source referred only to places with an actual border, while the rest included anything within 160 km of any coast?
can ice do more shit in the 100 mile zone or nah?
Yes and it includes ‘within 100 miles of an airport’.
so basically the entire us?
Yep, which is why its more or less blatant ignorance of the constitution
Pretty sure it’s not ignorance, otherwise how would they clean their butts?
who ever claimed ICE cleans their butts?
Then how do they get so nuch shit and ass hair on the constitution?
Don’t be such a hyperbolic drama queen; I’m sure theres like a ten square foot area in south dakota or something.
ICE isn’t CBP though. They technically don’t have jurisdiction over American citizens. CBP does.
technically dont have jurisdiction
Oh. Im sure all the citizens they kidnap are very comforted by that.
They’ve started using CBP agents for immigration raids…
Bold of you to think any part of the Constitution actually applies down here.
Well the exemptions to border patrol agents have been on the books for a lot longer than the current administration
…of which border?
The American one
The border with the ocean probably, humans love to live on the crust of the land
Sorry. I clarified with a photo in my post.
I did a quick search online to get the percentage and I saw one result at 40% and the rest were all between 70 and 75% of the US population lives in the 100 mile zone
the rest is on fire. burning for decades. wind shifted of late
