The temperature in Canada is not as cold as that in Heilongjiang. Why is the population only 3000?

First of all, correct one point: most parts of Canada are colder than Heilongjiang, and it is common for the lowest temperature to reach MINUS 30-40 degrees in winter. The only places in Canada that are not too cold in winter are the Greater Vancouver area along the Pacific coast and here in vancouver island, which only occupy a little bit of the southwest corner on the map of Canada.

Before the arrival of Europeans, the indigenous population living in Canada at that time was now estimated to be only about 500 thousand. At that time, we could only rely on fur to keep out the cold and firewood to keep warm. Such a cold climate is not suitable for human survival. Therefore, most Indian tribes in North America live in the United States and Mexico. Anyway, there was no border at that time, and the population moved freely.

After Europeans colonized Canada, French and British immigrants poured in one after another, and the eloquence of local people began to improve. 1867 When Canada was founded, its population was about 3.5 million.

Canada has a vast territory and a sparse population, so it needs to increase the population, so Canada regards the introduction of immigrants as a "national policy". From 1867 to 20 16, the population of 150 increased from 3.5 million to 35 million, a full increase of 10 times.
