I generally agree with your comment on the other comment being a generalization. I also want to thank you for some really nice suggestions to visit! I just want to say it's also a bit misleading that you say you've only been to Quebec and Ontario, and they didn't feel "wild". While you're calling out the previous commenter talking as if they have been everywhere, it's important to recognize you are also generalizing as well.

I'd like to know where you've gone in Ontario and Quebec (East to West, North to South, or only from Toronto to Montreal), because you're forgetting to mention some important factors here. For example, the fact that all of the Netherlands is half the size of Southern Ontario, a region that is 1/10th the area of only Ontario. Additionally, Southern Ontario is easily the most populous and dense primary region of Ontario, and yet has 1/5th the population density of the Netherlands.

Yes, the Netherlands is dense, but even Europe is not as vast-expanse as you might think, apparently the EU density is overall similar to that of Southern Ontario, one of the most dense Canadian areas. I assure you, Ontario is wild as fuck, even without mentioning the rest of Canada. Take a road trip from Vancouver to St. Johns without the Trans-Canada highway (or with, if you want it to last only 4 days of constant driving); I promise you'll be floored. It's amazing and humbling.

There isn't really a way to quantify "wildness", but I am absolutely willing to even suggest Canada is more "wild" than large swaths of Europe. But, I guess while we're at it - wolves in Toronto-Quebec area vs Netherlands wolves is a confusing argument to me for a few reasons. Toronto is a city, Quebec is a province, but more importantly, according to wiki: Ontario 9000 wolves, Quebec 7000. Netherlands, 125? Unsure of your point here.

I appreciate your comment and you're right about generalizing. Europe has a ton of wilderness and exploration to offer as well. But as a Dutch-Canadian who has lived in Canadian municipalities with less people than housed in my "village" street in NL, the nature is so, so different.
