We have roads. You just have to watch out for the polar bears and
Eskimos when drive your dogsled on them. Seriously though. . . The highway system tends to mimic the population of the country. 85% of the population live within 300 km of the US border. That said, there are decent roads to populated areas in the north. In the winter the roads are kept open. http://www.northernfrontier.com/10_E.../road.html#faq > Many parts of Canada does not have roads, or at least > not in some months of the year. > > |
