Spoiler. Its india... thats the next super power. Then it's Ca.... Argentina (yes, even with its extreme historic political instability.. id put my money on Argentina) Then maybe..just maybe its Canada. These guys have been industrialized and fairly stable. They have a geographic cheat code for sure. Population growth is not very impressive..even with the record beaking immigration they've recently experinced... they'd have do that for decades (and not burn down the place in the mean time).

American here who closely follows Canada and Quebec. I always thought it was a tragedy Quebec didn't vote for independence in 1980 when it had a real chance for that to happen. Changes in demographics since make independence unlikely.

Vous avez très bien décrit les référendums, Merci !

No China owns it, you didnt know that? Yeah, thats right, there was an expedition in the 12 th C. by Ping Pong Gua. They settled there and after awhile interbred with the Inuits. In fact the Inuits are Chinese. So now you know.

I would suggest that Canada would do best to give the Inuit people of Nunavut the lead in deciding how the arctic region is treated. For them it is home, their resource and culture. To develop resource extraction without regard for the consequences could threaten Inuit culture. A knowledgeable and careful stewardship of a fragile ecosystem may help to sustain it.

1:52 It is Mack-i-Naw

To attack the country Ukraine is so disgusting

Russia of course they don’t respect anything

this was so informative! i loved it!

Where did this guy learn pronunciation?

11:25 "No-nay-mo' is crazy. It's no-nai-mo 😂

No, I can't listen to the mistakes pronouncing so many landmarks 😳 You didn't Research the pronunciation first. Just looks so bad.

Excellent work, this channel plus Canadiana are my two favourite Canadian history channels on RUclips. The author is clearly bilingual and should create a separate video of the same topic entirely in French. Merci!

Lake Winnipeg and Winnipegosis is technically a Great Lake, as well as a few in the territories.

One sixth of the worlds fresh water. Crazy

I just came across your channel. Clearly you are bilingual, please make two videos on each topic. One in English and one French. I am a former New Brunswicker and I love your content!

What is a KM???

You do not own the Great Lakes legally you might but Michigan owns it

Immediately disliking from that horrible Mackinac pronunciation

This is a pretty cool video. Hello from Michigan❤✋️

Idk how much water that is. I don't do the metric system. And I'm not doing the math to figure it out. I come here for a math lesson. lol. But thanks for the video. :P

Lake Superior's name actually comes from the Ojibwe, who named it Gitche Gumee, which meant "great sea" or "big water."

Smart man - pronouncing stuff wild to get all the rage comments 🧐

Awesome explanation

I’ve lived across from Canada on the shore of the Detroit River all my life. I love my neighbors to the east

Is that a map of Moncton on your wall??????????

are you quebecois? you pronounce niagara like french 2:26

You ever watch a video that someone pronounces something so bad you realize they have no clue what they are talking about? This was that video and this is garbage.

Bro is not Canadian with those pronunciations

I love how nobody knows how to pronounce Mackinac. And they never bother to look it up. To be fair it looks like you know how it's pronounced. But you don't.

You can’t do a video on these and not know how to pronounce so many things. Mackinac, sure fine, but Niagara? I had to turn the video off.

1:52 STRAIGHTS OF WHAT?

Le gouvernement canadien tente de remplacer la population francophone par des Mexicains, des Américains et des Pakistanais...Vive le Québec libre

if drained the Great Lakes could cover the entire lower 48 states in water 9 feet deep from coast to coast.

I feel like the St Louis River wouldve been an "important waterway" of the great lakes, as it hosts the largest port in the great lakes system

excellent!

Their are also great lakes in Canada northwest of the great lakes

Some of the world’s largest salt mines are underneath the Great Lakes.

Knee agra falls?

Wow someone is not from Michigan or even near the Great Lakes MACNICK….. it’s MACINAWWW

This video is a real watershed moment for me

Kakabeka falls that feeds into lake superior is often a forgotten marvel!

The pronunciation has to be satire this is ridiculous.

The volume of the great lakes is truly incomprehensible. "About a fifth of all fresh water on the surface of the earth" helps a bit. If you really want to try to get it you have to visit the falls. Niagara Falls is moving an incomprehensible volume of water every second. Get close to it. Feel it. Let the sheer power and scale sink in to your bones. And then realize that the great lakes have enough volume to flow over these falls for over 300 years. In reality, some of the water in the depth of Superior has probably been there since the ice age, and the trickle going over the falls is the overflow from rainfall in the watershed. (One of the great lakes is even downstream from the falls.) But I think it's the best way to give yourself a hint as to this sort of scale.

Say the letter A then say the word Ah. Then say the word Winnebago , Just a not ah. Next word we will work on is Kaukauna.

6:21 You hit on a really important nuance here. Contact, colonialism, and imperialism are often conflated within popular understandings of Canadian history. They are, however, there distinct processes. Contact is just the regular interaction of different people groups. Imperialism refers to the policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy, trade, or military force. However, imperialism need not necessarily result in effective political control. The presence of effective political control of an imperial power over an indigenous one is, however, a prerequisite for colonialism. In some areas, like the St. Lawrence, contact, imperial expansion, and colonization all happened more-or-less concurrently. In other areas, like Rupertsland, the fur trade started as exchange through a contact milieu, only becoming imperialism the late 1700s and into the 1800s. Even then, despite its imperialist attitudes and colonial pretensions, the HBC never had the ability to exercise effective political control over the territories they claimed. Thus, while the HBC was an imperialist commercial and mercantile venture, calling them colonial suggests they had way more power than they did, and obscures our understandings of the distinct Indigenous historical developments that occurred between contact in the 1670s and colonization in the 1870s.

2:30 in addition to their own rich fur resources, the Cree themselves were middlemen for nations further west (as far afield as the Blackfoot and Mandan). They jealously guarded this middleman position until the HBC and NWC pushed inland in the 1780s.

Now you should do the northern Great Lakes: Lake Tindé, Lake Sahtu, Lake Athabasca, etc.

What is winabago its pronounced winabaygo

All of these Americans gasping at pronounciation, like they wouldn't have absolutely butchered all the French names mentioned.
