I'm surprised anyone lives there. I couldn't live that far north.

Mostly kidding but just like land doesn't vote, the size of land doesn't determine how many people live there.

You'd be even more surprised to learn that 50% of Canadians live further south than much of the US ;)

Totally :) But I decided against living in Seattle after noticing how far north Boulder was compared to Arizona bothered me. Though otherwise I was all set to move to Seattle. I still haven't been there yet. But then later I moved to the northeast for a while so I suppose Toronto would be something I'd try. So yeah, joking :)

Eh, if there’s any kernel of truth to these jokes, that seems fine; nothing wrong with having climate and/or culture preferences.

Fun fact: the southern-most point in Canada is further south than the northern-most point in Nevada.
