The article compares Canada mostly to Europe.  It&#x27;s also interesting to compare Canada to the U.S., which is &quot;obviously&quot; south of Canada on the map.<p>- If you start in downtown Detroit and go south, you end up in Canada.<p>- 13.7M Canadians (1&#x2F;3 of the population) live in Ontario.  Nearly all of these are south of Minneapolis&#x2F;St. Paul (home to 3.3M Americans).<p>- 10M more Canadians live further north in Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward.  Nearly all of these are south of Seattle&#x2F;Tacoma (home to 3.6M Americans).<p>The only major Canadian cities that are strictly north of the contiguous U.S. are Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg.  And going back to Europe, all of these are strictly south of Scandinavia.
