write a short note on "canada an underpopulated country"
Answers
Canada as a whole has a population density of just 4 people per square kilometers, which makes it the 228th most densely populated country. The population density is among the lowest in the world, mostly because a great deal of the country to the north is virtually uninhabited.

The argument that we are vastly under populated is quite a strong one. A small population attempting to service vast geography has always been an incredible financial strain. Building and maintaining a massive infrastructure of roads, rail, dams, airports, transmission lines, ports, etc. is a burden. Defending our territory and patrolling our coast lines add to the strain.

It's only through the FTA (and subsequent NAFTA) that this has been mitigated somewhat. We still need to export to build world scale industries that can compete on price. The cost of transporting goods to distant places lowers our standard of living as the cost is spread over a small number of consumers.

It's no surprise that they're also the regions of Canada that have managed to move beyond resource extraction and build world scale (non resource) businesses. All other areas could do with vastly higher populations. They'll need to if they're ever to develop diversified economies.
