Well to get back on track. The American said our country is frozen Tundra. That was ignorant. Take a look at Alaska....its much colder there than here. The fact is he insults us every chance he gets yet he accuses us of being Anti-American.
Actually, the Yukon and areas of the NW Territory record colder average temps than Alaska.

So is Canada being a frozen Tundra or whatever the individuals above want to call it, being spoonfed to Americans now or what?

Seems that way if they think the whole country is like that.

Good, you have come to your sences. The map shows that there is tundra in Canada. But the country is not 100% frozen tundra.

I recently viewed a tev program about surving in the Canadians wilds which the guy was around hudsons bay in the forest where your so called tundra was. Most of th tundra is all in The Territories and a bit in quebec.

"Survivorman" on OLN? Good show. He goes in a second time on a simulated plane crash in early winter. Pretty good episode too.
I'm used to winter camping, but he simulates being stranded or in an accident and shows you how to survive. Good info.

Okay, so I compared this map of Canada's terrestrial ecozones, to this one that has Timmins listed on it. Follow the curving line from the Prairies to Timmins. It is right on the mark. Which is located inside the Boreal Shield. NOT TUNDRA.
