      Yes, but the uk doesn’t have the spare non urban centres. The uk is densely populated throughout, pretty much.

      London to Brighton is really one big city, for instance.

        There is plenty of space in the north of the UK, where the climate is far milder than in the immense majority of the territory in Canada.

        Windsor to Montreal is also really one big city. Unsurprisingly since it’s one of the areas with relatively mild climate, compared to places like Nunavut.

        Space is not the problem. The problem is that we welcome over a million people coming to the country per year and we are not building nearly enough housing for them.

      Crazy stat I heard is that 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border while at the same time the country is the 2nd largest in the world.
