Canada Day

In honor of Canada Day, here are some maps from Macleans magazine's Mapping Canada series. Not all of these maps are useful but this one showing cities paired with other cities on the same latitude is interesting.

EarthTools was used to find the latitude pairs. Interesting how different the climate is between Edmonton and Dublin, also for several other latitude pairs.

Job growth and shrinkage - mostly growth except for a few scattered cities in Ontario and Quebec.

Finally, the familiar cliche map. Whereas these kind of maps are often full of nastiness, this one is mostly polite in an appropriately Canadian way.
