Second look at the screenshot I regret not trying to put London closer to London

Heroically Clueless
what bothers me about the map is the lack of Great Lakes.

Here you go
And yes, this is accurate.

Does that island have any major city as well?
edit: NM, googled it. Halifax. Though it isn't that big i suppose (significantly smaller than Thessalonike; roughly half, apparently)
Yeah, but that's biased towards the south, and more specifically the Halifax metro area.
^Is Canada full and can't accept more foreigners?
Canada is fairly open to immigration, compared to many nations. But historically has a small population for its land area because, quite frankly, most of Canada is marginally habitable.
I can't tell if Warpus's map is just slightly different from mine or not. If he says his is accurate, I tend to believe him.
The official populations numbers for Canada is 36,591,241. Of which 23,460,281 live in the 3 provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. 64%. Now all 3 of those provinces extend far north of the line on the maps. But the centers of population within them are biased to the south of that line, with the only major population center in those 3 provinces north of the line being Quebec City. 9,245,438 live in the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario alone, which is the southern most part of the province. The Montreal metro area is over 4 million, and while it's hard to tell exactly where the line is drawn, something like 820,000 in Nova Scotia are south of the line. So we're at 14 some million before even getting into the other counties of Ontario and Quebec which are south of that line.
So if it's not exactly right, I'd estimate that it's pretty damned close.
There just aren't many people in most of Canada.

I think they are both more or less accurate. IIRC the map I posted was created (or found) by someone on reddit when somebody else asked "What happened to the great lakes?". It was a follow-up post to that question, so I'm not sure if it was lying around somewhere or if the poster in question made it him/herself.
As for why most of us live so close to the American border, you guys have cheap stuff. Plus we're getting ready for the eventual invasion. Plus yeah, it gets cold north and there's less infrastructure and the terrain is not as suitable for human habitation. I mean, it's habitable to a degree. my friend was just in Whitehorse on vacation, and it looks like your average small town, albeit with a neat colonial/gold rush type character
Surprisingly enough (perhaps) the coldest major Canadian city is Winnipeg. Just looking at the above map, I bet most people would guess Edmonton.
I was in Winnipeg in January once and it was insane. I was wearing gloves and went for a 5 minute walk and it felt like my fingers were going to fall off. I forget how cold it was exactly but I'm NEVER going back

Would that be the effect of an extra ~800 miles of continent to the west of Winnipeg?

Yeah, it's far from the oceans, but it's also usually north of the jet stream, meaning that when winds pick up in the winter (from the north) they really put quite a chill on the whole situation. Winds are also able to pick up a lot of speed due to the relatively flat prairies (I think)

ANSI/ASCII art scene activity and signs of recent resurgence
The numbers on the right signify number of art packs released in that year. The scene started dying after the internet started becoming popular, but has recently seen a bit of a revival. Here's one of the active groups if you're curious what the art looks like (the stars wars stuff on display is not the usual style, there is usually more shading, but they're going for a bit more of a retro look with that I think)

Back in the 90s we had ASCII artists, who for the most part used no colours and the lower ASCII characters. i.e. 33-127
ANSI artists on the other hand used colours (16 total) and the extended ascii character set. i.e. 33-254
Of course these were not set in stone rules and people were free to do whatever, but that's usually what the distinction was.
