I don't read this as Vancouver being isolated, I just read this as the prairies being victims/perpetrators of car dependent sprawl.

With a shit ton of complex geography, of course traffic is going to concentrate on a few main highways/roads

Eh. I read it as BC not getting much funding for infrastructure from the feds, coupled with copious issues with development and treaties. BC's population is overly concentrated in the GVRD, with almost half the provinces people living there. Part of the reason being the lack of infrastructure / job opportunities in other regions.

I think this map + population density would make it very easy to spot where you can find oil in the world.

Low density + high amount of roads = oil
