1. Heh …
   Whatever his presentation, can’t avoid looking at the guy’s neck. As though, his head is superimposed on that no neck.

   1. Mr. Mackey mmmkaay

2. Interesting video. I’ve actually stayed in several of the cities in the narrow strip.

3. lines up with Saskatchewan

   1. Is Saskatchewan also relatively underpopulated?

      1. About 1.2 million in a province roughly the size of Texas.

         1. Your post about the Gambling Den earlier today mentioned Wei Wei the “criminal mastermind” was from a tiny backwater city in Western China that only had 2 million people.

            Makes you think.

4. Aka, Free America.

5. The dominant factor is rainfall. Everything else is a distant consideration.

   1. It’s quite amazing really that about 19 million people reside in the four corners states (AZ, NM, CO, UT) which are desert or semi-arid. Prior to modernization, the livable population was a small fraction of that and cannibalization was a thing.

6. A lot of Saskatchewan and Alberta farmers, going back to the 1940s, loaded up combines on the back of a 2 or 3 ton grain truck and headed through this vast region for the winter wheat harvest. On of my friends went for 30 years straight.

   The Massey Harris 21, 27, 90s and 92s were the favorite because of their low profiles. Many of these combines were built in Canada. Today, Deere rules the endless fields.
   Enjoy the video.

   1. The first farm machine I operated, at age 13, was a Massey Harris model 27 combine. Cabless and slow, running a swath in the same direction as the wind was torture.

   2. Many were built in Brantford Ontario. I had a few uncles that worked at Massey Harris/Massey Ferguson there many many moons ago. Brantford is all about Alexander Graham Bell and Gretzky but seems to forget about artist and MH offspring Lawren Harris.

      1. The very first Massey Harris factory was in Newcastle Ontario. The building is still there.

      2. Cockshutt was also in Brantford, building ploughs, tractors, combines, and Mosquito wing and fuselage components.

         All of the buildings are gone now except for, i think, the front facade of the pay office.

7. So, guess what – in Canada Nunavut is like 725,000 square miles and 40,000 people.

   Nunavut is Eskimo for “None of It” meaning no one is dumb enough to live there.

   Wonder why?
