Some more about Canada, since if you look far enough up the map you'll see we missed three territories. So now we have Canada covered, as they say, "from sea to sea to sea."
Top Reasons to Live in Yukon:
1. We have one road. The Americans built it 70 years ago so they could drive to Alaska.
2. Bush tea and bannock show up on restaurant menus.
3. You can find gold just by shooting water at a hillside.
4. We get to laugh at Americans who think the Klondike is in the U.S.
5. Robert Service. 'Nuff said. (But BC had him, too...)
Top Reasons to Live in the North West Territories:
1. Nobody mistakes us for Alaskans.
2. Paris? London? Pfft. WE have Yellowknife.
3. Ice roads.
Top Reasons to Live in Nunavut:
1. For being Nunavut, there sure is a lottavut. (OK, it's really pronounced "NOO-na-voot" and means "our land.")
2. Messages to folks on the traplines, broadcast on the local radio station.
3. We build inuksuit* for real, not garden decorations.
4. Patricia Bell lives in Iqualuit!**
5. Those shiny rocks we dig outta the ground? Diamonds.
*plural of inukshuk
**the one CBC reporter who covers the whole north
