    A lot of that is warmer or equal to Edmonton

    We could settle a lot more but it deflates housing values and takes money/business away from the places that are settled

      Wait, so are there regs or something preventing more housing development? I thought this was a joke about it being obviously too cold up there.

        There are zoning issues but the infrastructure is done by the government or in this case not done

        In Northern Ontario the infrastructure is struggling as is because the current premier took the money from the maintenance budget and put it into Toronto ahead of the last election to try to get more votes

        Ontario went to municipalities around Toronto and told them they need to add x number of houses but never touched the north
