Here are some geographic oddies of Canada you should talk about: Sable Island, Nova Scotia Navy Island near Niagara Falls Cap-aux-Meules in the St. Lawrence Gulf The border between Saskachewan and Manitoba The southern most point of Nunavut, Stag Island Canadian Rivers such as the Mackenzie of NWT, Grand River of Ontario, and Northern and Southern Saskachewan Rivers
I finally found a channel that doesn’t just copy other videos people have made about geography And history I am learning so much from your videos thank you!!!!!
I lived in Sanikiluaq in the late 90's while working with the NorthWest Company. We lost our power generation station, and the military had to fly in a new one in, and land a CF130 on the shory dirt runway.
@@Ihavenofilter-12345 well that sent me down a rabbit hole, not knowing or realizing that CF didnt stand for Canadian Forces but Canadian Fighter, and the extra C in CC was for Canadianized. Thank you
Thule is pronounced "too-lee" and you got Sanikiluak pretty much down! In the late 1980's i work for an airline in the arctic and saw many flights headed for Sanikiluak...never flew there but visited Coral Harbour which is much farther north in Hudson Bay - most settlements have been renamed since i was there( Nunavut was not yet formed) to reflect the Inuit culture. Very interesting bit on the Belcher Islands!
You have an instinct for doing videos about all my favourite Canadian geographical oddities. The Belcher Islands count among them. I always thought of them as a fingerprint, rather than spaghetti. Many thanks for the details about the old cult murders. I had heard a few vague things about it from Cree elders, but never come across that book ---- which I will now try to obtain. Few people realize that the islands in Hudson's Bay and, yes, James Bay belong to Nunavut. Akimiski Island, a large uninhabited island in James Bay is part of Nunavut. The southernmost point of Nunavut is Stag Island, in the mouth of the Nottaway River of western Quebec, located at 51°39′01″N 79°04′28″W ---- further south than Saskatoon!
Wow, 2.2 billion years ago was the oxidation event. The francevillan biota of macroscopic biota was found in Gabon, those also look big, like macrofossils
I was interested in this video as I applied for a job teaching adult literacy in the Belcher Islands. I didn't get the job, or even an interview - most likely because I am a US resident, but I found fascinating things about them at the time.
At the time of the Rupertsland transfer from HBC to Canada everything was made into the NWT. At one point there were six or seven territories which were all gone by 1905, except Yukon and NWT. The islands were never transferred to any province.
Ever heard about d'Hiberville le Jeune ? His friends and him canoed from Montréal all the way to James Bay and Hudson Bay the take over the brits forts and end up commerce with the natives, and bring back commerce with Montréal. One of the greatest individual ever in north america, back all the way to the 17th century. By then, men were beast survivors.
The Province of Quebec made an attempt years ago to assimilate the Belcher Islands and thus for it to become part of this Province. These representatives from the Quebec Government who went to Ottawa with this purpose in mind were swiftly sent away empty handed.
Hey man, another great video 👍👍 Hey I heard that EVERY island in Hudson Bay is actually considered a part of Nunavut, is that true? Even the small ones near the coast? I'm particularly interested in some of the islands near Churchill, Manitoba. I'm planning a trip there, and thought if I could pop out to one of those islands I could also say I've been to Nunuvut 😅 Hudson bay islands being a part of Nunuvut could maybe be an interesting video topic? 🤔
This is another very precious place in many respects (cultural, environmental, archaeological). And where one could organize, for certain - well-known - leaders a meditation retreat on the profound meaning of their existence....In full respect of the local traditions of course...
This is one of two playlists at the Thunderbolts Project by Andrew Hall who explains in detail how catastrophic plasma discharges have sculpted this planet, and our moon and Mars. This is an electric universe. ruclips.net/p/PLwOAYhBuU3UfnDcb_2iDFCBQkrQHmnxwp The finger lakes are from a hypersonic shockwave, same with the curve of the shore. The twin lakes with the one on the left dotted by islands is a plasma discharge effect reproduced in the lab, incidentally. It just goes on and on.
In the late '80's - I got the chance to have a few weeks in Eureka, (NWT at the time, but Nunavut now) when I was in the RCAF. We were doing Re-supply of Radio stations in the area (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Hurricane_(Canada)). It was SUCH a cool place. There are special stones there - usually called "Rose Rocks" that are found in only 2 places on the planet - there and some place in Russia. There is also a Petrified Forest up there - the reason that much of the Island is National Park. No trees, and all the vegetation is TINY - but some of the flowers are BEAUTIFUL. Also saw Arctic Wolves (they are HUGE!), Arctic Hares, Polar Bears, Whales, Musk-Ox (You DON'T want to be down-wind of them - they STINK!), and more. And played football at 3 AM in the sunshine! 24 hour sunlight - tough to get used to, but worth it!
Thanks for sharing your experiences, it really sounds like an amazing place and such a unique experience! I appreciate you talking about your experiences. Thank you 🙏. This country is so unique in what it offers, it’s a pity that the vast majority of people have no idea of the diversity of this vast country. ❤️
I've never been able to find photographs of the sandy region (dunes?) near the centre of Victoria Island. The region looks to be about 200-250km northwest of Cambridge Bay. I'd love to find anything about this area.
Interesting, and well-done video. Narration was a bit monotone, sounds like you're rushing. The pronunciations of the Inuit names were acceptable, though if you do the research, you might find a phonetic pronunciation code online somewhere (I understand CBC announcers have one). I learned something I didn't know before so, well done.
Those islands were part of the reason Newfoundland never joined in 1867. France even claimed part of their south coast. StP and M are in the Atlantic Time Zone, not Newfoundland time zone.
If I was a billionaire like Elon Musk instead of trying to go to the moon I would develop a hyper modern city in some place sin the Canadian north. Some self autonomous paradise that is mostly indoors so it doesn't matter so much about the cold. Indoors but with huge transparent domes of some material but much of it would be underground. A small nuclear reactor would be nice
how about st.james island off victoria, where the two owners are epstein clients and been too eptein island "little saint james" pedo islands way scarier
I feel like the claim it's not an impact crater sounds kinda false seeing how the islands to start with look melted or pushed up, also the shore line on the mainland is circular, and it's in line with four or five proven impact craters.
No need to apologize! They do it on purpose! Lmao. Also the Eskimos dont like being called inuit. And the other way around is also true. All my Eskimo friends look at inuits like the white people look at the natives.

How about "The Big Muddy" in southern Saskatchewan? That was fascinating, and I only found out about it from a local.

Cool, they should make a movie about that book
I was thinking the same
Thing!
The Belcher Islands are part of a once long ago meteor strike. The curvature and speggtti look folds from the lava and impact.
You should do a fact finding as to How Resolute got populated ? People were forced there, bet people didn't know that
I actually have a video similar to that on Devon Island, where I mention forced relocation in the Arctic, check it out on my channel!

You want strange? Look up, Island in a Lake on an Island in a Lake on an Island in Canada.
That would be Michipicoten island?
Cape Breton....
Somewhere within Manitoulin Island on Lake Huron?
For those unable to find this island I mentioned on Google, here are the exact coordinates: 69deg47'33.54"N; 108deg14'28.80"W
Maybe do Triangle Island, the northern most of a range of mountains poking above the water north of Vancouver Island.
Can't land there.

Why is the bay called Hudson while the retail store Hudson's, with apostrophe s? Just wondering.
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
😅😅😅
I remember reading about the weird Christian cult. Interesting, but sad story
Here's something you might find intersting, its islands within Canada's borders, owned by France. Look up Saint Pierre and Miquelon. It blew my mind.
Those islands were part of the reason Newfoundland never joined in 1867. France even claimed part of their south coast. StP and M are in the Atlantic Time Zone, not Newfoundland time zone.
I believe you mentioned there are moose on these islands. Not so-
My mistake, It’s actually the Belcher Island Ecozone that include moose. www.ecozones.ca/english/region/49.html
No, he said Caribou.

You need to clarify. The second half of your comment makes very little sense
Christianism is certainly one of the worst things that happened to these people
You are so correct. Are you religious in any way or spiritual?
@ hell no!! we have to get rid of all religions if we want to reach the next major stage of evolution
Could be worse, they could have became Muslim.

that book about the murders is total gartbage. the author just complains about modern tech taking over for the majority of the story.
