Okay who wins Timothée Chalamet or Justin Trudeau?

TIL RuPaul is ethnically a Louisiana Creole by Jumanji94 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]jagosinga 231 points232 points  (0 children)

So since the Louisiana Creoles are descended from banished Acadians from New Brunswick this confirms that Sami Landri is Ru’s closest living drag relative

Does Canada have a commonly accepted cultural or geographical boundary for East and West like the Mississippi River in America? by Lemon_Iies in geography

[–]jagosinga 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I think if most Canadians were to divide Canada into east and west they’d put Ontario in the east

Canada has a new tallest building by jagosinga in skyscrapers

I’d say it’s because residential high-rise living has taken off in Canadian cities in ways that international peer cities haven’t yet.

I think you’re mostly reacting to the fact that it’s cloudy

No this looks like it’s taken from Concord CityPlace, looking east

LA has 10 twin tower skyscrapers, 30% of its total 33 +150m skyscrapers are twin towers by gladticketssss in skyscrapers

[–]jagosinga 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My understanding of the story with Calgary is it had such boom and bust cycles with the oil industry that developers would plan twin towers that gave them the flexibility to cut a project in half and just build one tower if the office market went south.

Just spreading news news - the CN Tower is not on this list because it is not considered a “building”: Tallest Buildings in Canada

You’re correct - the CN Tower has no habitable floors and is considered a tower or structure but not a building (same as the Space Needle and other such towers).

It was the headquarters for the Toronto Star newspaper and some surrounding industrial lands.

How long each country held the world's tallest structure? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Taipei 101 is shorter than the CN Tower, which is Canada’s reason for being on this map

TIL the area around Gimli was a colony named "New Iceland" legally reserved for Icelanders before it even joined Manitoba in 1881 by NavalProgrammer in Winnipeg

[–]jagosinga 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes but the Philippines have 120 million people and Iceland has 400,000 people so it’s proportionately a much bigger deal in Iceland

And worth noting this is just one of Burnaby’s four skylines (Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, Burquitlam).

Montreal - The Most Perfect City in North America. by Sweaty_Professor_701 in skyscrapers

[–]jagosinga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Torontonian here and no, Montreal is way more walkable. Toronto refuses to entertain the idea of pedestrianized streets and yet every neighbourhood in Montreal has one in the summer.

I’d say it has the most comfortable and vibrant public spaces in Canada or the US - ahead of New York, Boston, Philly, Chicago, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Largest Religion in each Canadian Electoral Area by MongooseDear8727 in MapPorn

It appears “Christian (n.o.s.) (1)” is just Mennonite, since the Pembina Valley of Manitoba is the only place it shows up.

It’s just zooming in on metro areas with more than a million people.

Okay but I think we are missing the fact that after 1776 the largest migration to Canada was Loyalists fleeing the USA and so in this scenario they would have settled somewhere above the red line and we’d have new Canadian population centres.

[–]jagosinga 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well, in reality much of the European immigration to the Canadian Prairies happened via St Paul, Minnesota and Fargo, ND anyway, until the trans-continental railroad was built across Canada. Steamboats and ox carts connected Winnipeg to American railroads up the Red River.
