So I was dicking around on Photoshop and came up with this
to show how the middle of our country is essentially empty. Between Winnipeg and the Golden Horseshoe there are only 250,000 people with more than half being in Thunder Bay.
To ensure the health of our country we need to ensure the health of all our regions. Every region in our country has significant population except for the territories and north-west Ontario. Obviously the territories will be far harder to populate, but north-west Ontario doesn't have the same environmental factors holding back its growth.
I know there are a few users from Thunder Bay here and I'd be interested on what their opinion is.
Promoting growth here would act as a "bridge" of the east and west much like Ottawa acts as a "bridge" between Ontario and Quebec.
Will we ever see a day when northwestern Ontario boasts a large population? How about other seemingly "empty" areas like northeastern Ontario and northern Quebec?
We have all this land prime for settlement and its sitting unused.
