The perfect vacation

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Was that supposed to make sense?

No, which was exactly my point. *snicker*

And in December, 95% of Canada is snow.

Not this past December. Most of the East had a green Christmas. You might have missed it while your power was out during one of the 347 ginormous windstorms that blew threw the Lower Mainland. The BC Interior was one of the few places that had a white Christmas, which is all sorts of bizarre.

Snow in upland Canada is more permanent, and much less useful in the greater scheme of things.

There are trees and oil and uranium up there. The tree line (ie, northernmost limit at which you find trees) is a lot farther north than you seem to realise - it vague follows the Nunavut border. There's a lot of habitable land up there, we just don't have enough people to exploit it.

So nyah. :P How about all that desert you've got in the Southwest?
