BeoPuppy:
I see what you did there.
At least I hope you did it on purpose.
But I assume you did.
Because I think you are that intelligent.

Get in an argument with someone on Facebook "Wait. Who the fuck are you?" *defriend*

There's easily 200,000 square kilometers of sparsely inhabited land around Quebec. Besides, I was looking more at percentages...

Again, Mercator's projection. Equatorial areas are bigger than people think they are, and polar areas are smaller.

Ah yes, but it's 200,000 square klicks more then the French Canadians have, and therein lies the victory :P
ev4n:
Labrador is more than 200.000 square kilometers, and less than 30,000 people. Geographically, it's more unto Quebec than anything else.
The notion that there are only french canadians in Quebec is a myth, albeit one they seem to embrace. Northern Ontario is 800,000km, adjacent to Quebec, and broad stretches are more french than english. Plus, New Brunswick is 1/3 French. /shrug
It's all just idle talk, though. The main point is that there are some HUGE, sparsely populated areas in this world.
