Canada figures out what the absolute minimum they need to invest in the North then invest about one quarter that amount. Design? That's not even on their radar. There's a reason everything looks like a cheap tin can: it's all about building the cheapest piece of garbage possible. Even if they did care about design, our culture doesn't seem to be very good at it. Just look at the primitive garbage they built next to the Alberta Legislature. Buildings like that would never get approved in Denmark let alone go up next to their parliament.

Canada (except maybe the province of Quebec) has to be one of the ugliest in the developed world when it comes to built-up areas. No thought given to design or beauty at all.
