Reminder that ~100% of Canadian territory is not urban.

Don't like 70% of Canadians live in urban environments though? Meaning a lot of people could probably get by with a bicycle and public transit. Not everyone of course, but the "~100% of territory is not urban" line is kinda misleading when ~100% of territory is also devoid of human activity in the first place.

Sure. But 70% bikes is still 30% cars (or busses, or offroad whatever).

Farmland has to be at least 10%, and then outside the high arctic there's trapping and native hunting, if only when someone passes through. There's human activity. It's not just crudely rendered videogame scenery as soon as you leave whatever city.

If you haven't seen it before, that little squiggle means "approximately".
