Why is Canada so underpopulated?

Because most of it is very cold and difficult to farm and build cities in.

Why? Also, aren't they like $70 in the US? Seems like a difference in currency.
Why are mutts so enthusiastic about pulling the free peoples of the world into their hellhole of a country? I don't want to die for Israel damn it! Leave me out of your satanic pedo-run country.

Where are games $90+tax? It's $90 after tax. $80 CAD is $60 USD so it's an appropriate price.
Canada's VAT is among the lowest in the world and large metropolitan areas like the GTA and Vancouver are not only densely populated but in close proximity to the US border. Economies of scale combined with state enforced bilingualism definitely has an impact, but it mostly just comes down to the CAD's weak performance due to Canada's commodity dependant economy and a lack a domestic investment in/control of key industries.

Alright nevermind, you're clearly retarded.

To specifically address the post in your image. This is basically a zoomer problem. They grew up and only became financially aware during the booming CAD value caused by the recession so they came to think that our dollar is supposed to be valuable.
In fact floated in the 55-70% USD value for the past century, and this is where it normally was. But those zoom zooms don't realise that. Oh and also game devs finally started jewing us, back in the day when our dollar was about the same as now the prices were $60 like the US so it's a new shock for them.

If this happened in America it wouldn't even be newsworthy because not enough people died.
