GregJA 5,531 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s because there’s so few of us in such a enormous landmass we aren’t crammed like sardines like Americans we can social distance without trying! Mr. No Award Winner 2020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 52,844 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 We only have 4 Provinces with a population size of any relevance (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta) and all of them took measures. The US have like 50 different state governments plus a Federal Government that didn't take almost any lead either so... That doesn't help at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. The vast majority of Canada is concentrated in specific areas The top 5 or 6 largest cities/metros In Canada combined are already like almost 3/4 of Canada's population Canada does have absolutely huge landmass size relative to population but the vast majority of that land is virtually uninhabited. So the population density of the Nation doesn't really reflect the density of where people actually live The red is the Toronto Metro plus cities that go down to Winsor (bordering Detroit)... The Green is the Montreal corridor that catches a line of cities a bit NE of it down to Ontario The purple has southern BC (Vancouver + Victoria region) and Southern Prairie cities like Calgary (the purple may also go up to Edmonton) and possibly Regina That's the vast majority of Canada Population concentrated in those few areas All the Atlantic Provinces in the East have like 1M people tops (I don't remember exactly how many) and the entire Northern 3/4 of the Country has virtually no one. The 3 Territories in the north combined literally have only 100,000 people. Less than 1/6 the population of my suburb city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well wherever u live doesn't represent Canada as a whole lol A very small fraction of our population lives in rural areas or Small towns. Were concentrated in a handful or larger cities/metros... So again the huge area doesn't help if people are not spread on it. Most of Canada is completely empty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz here in Ontario only essentials like Grocery stores and hospitals were left open. It's was a near full lockdown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
