Fun with Maps, Canadian style

Check out this page that explains the effort--to come up with provinces of equal population size.

The map is quite revealing--it reminds us of how much of the population is not only close to the border but in a few clusters--Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are not surprising--but the other parts of southern Ontario as well.  Of course, given the resource distribution, don't expect anything like this to ever happen. Still, fun to ponder.
