Now the South Okanagan and Whitehorse are the same zone. (Which I am actually not going to call incorrect at this scale, I just fond it interesting that you actually know so little about forestry and ecology that you have now praised one map over another simply because it is more general.)
Wait, you did not understand why I'd be okay with a map that has all of Canada having the same generic climate called just "cold" (from a tropical point of view), while panning a map of Canada that has nearly all of Canada having that climate called "cold" but has an area of Southern Alberta with a different climate, that one labeled "Continental Semi-Arid"...?

Being more general - the former map - is why that map is correct / defensible.

The second climate map I'm describing is committing a capital sin - blatantly mismatched levels of detail. That's such a basic concept I can't believe I'm having to explain it.
