I'd grade it by presence of all-weather/season highways, number of transportation options (car/bus/train/airport), and proximity to nearest CMA.
Yet, it classifies Baffin Island as about as remote as Kenora, 3 hours by car from Winnipeg. Sure.

And how is the Great Northern Newfoundland Peninsula "Very Remote" when it has numerous villages (~15K in total population) and roads connecting it to the rest of the island?
