And Belgium has about the same gdp as the state of North Carolina
Maybe if we one day want to leave europe behind we can plop ourselves down into Lake Superior. Then we have coast all around!
Gulfstream FTW

Can anyone explain what weather phenomenon causes our mild weather if we are in canada according to this picture? I would think we, and basicly all of western Europe would be in snow and cold weather alot more.
Does this work with a Mercator map projection of Canada?
So approx half North Dakota with 15 times the number of people.
Regarding the climate change situation it does seem that Europe has a bit of the advantage as most modelling predicts the worst weather events around the equatorial zones and on the poles. I think we are already seeing this in southern US where extreme weather events such as floods, droughts and hurricanes are just piling up year after year?
Anyway, funky to see? I admit that I thought we were more along the lines of Toronto in ‘southerness’ :’)
Crazy that we can grow palm trees & people over there are freezing in the winter.
It would look smaller if moved to the south.
How to mind blow a canadian :
Vancouver island is bigger than belgium by 30 square kilometer.
Kinda crazy, and If we were in the southern latitude we’d be far below south africa, somewhere on the southern tip of the south American continent
and here i am surprised why its hard to find untouched nature and a piece of quiet in this country
I lived in southern Ontario for one year but I only realise now that Belgium would fit easily between Toronto and Ottawa. Awesome.
I don’t think is right. I have seen a more accurate comparison on /r/BELGICA.
I grew up in Belgium and have lived in Canada for the last 9 years. I live more south now yet winters are absolutely brutal. Summers are nicer than Belgium though. Also it’s hard for Canadians to comprehend how small Belgium is. I showed this to my girlfriend and her mind was blown.

Maybe the word ‘eh’ is a latitude thing?
