I didn't ask you how many are there. I asked what percentage of Americans do thu think could make it up there.

people don't settle up there because of the weather. It's the limited opportunisties

Unlimited opportunities here-Mines popping up all over the place.
Canada Nickle just outside of town is set to employ several thousand in the next few years.
When Detour gold mine re -opened the property values went up 40%.
You know squat about this area obviously.
Opportunity out the ying yang here so it aint that its about being able to handle the rigors of living here.

Good trapping oppurtunities, even registered lines, most trappers in Canada are too fat to get more than a couple feet off the trail. Competion is a US strength Canucks wouldn't have a clue.

Boco, it sure didn't seem that the Habs were that strong when the Canes were beating the brakes off of them

Raleigh, North Carolina has more hockey fans than Montreal....kinda crazy

Someone’s feeding you a line of BS. But it’s probably best to pack up and move somewhere else depending on what area you were camping. Camping in some beautiful areas in Manitoba can get you into some real hot water with the locals, even though it’s legal.

This was Ontario , it was a place a cousins family went all the time many years ago , I think the last time they went was just before they had to get passports.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I know quite a few folks up around Lundahar. Things are a little tense there, and on up Ashern way. I had no problems a couple weeks ago.
So with the new law, you’re Canadian, you just don’t know it.

There’s a learning curve for sure,of knowing how to dress for being outside in winter on a daily basis…I believe I could pass that test, I can work about anywhere and adapt to those conditions. Most folks that think they automatically could make it in the north, should just try 6 weeks in a logging shack eating venison and potatoes, hand bunching peccarpole spruce, and burning firewood.

I’m too old for that line of work, but hanging out in the absence of people is appealing. I still have the shack, and need to pull it near the valley of the beaver and just ponder for a while…I could do this….most of you just dream of being me…

If you have some money, you can buy yourself out of some of the discomforts of living in a remote northern area. Ain't much money can't cure.

Count me out , no reason to live in a frozen he'll.........I love the mountains, but like the wapiti, I'm smart enough to find an oasis in the low lands during winter.

I'll take 30 40 below in January over the 90s we experienced last week.

Plenty of Americans thrive in less than ideal conditions.

The reason many people are moving south is air conditioning. High humidity coupled with heat kills old people.

For.me the worst part of living too far north would be the lack of sun light.
