fun fact: eskimo is a Cree word meaning "blubber-eater" that was cooked up to insult the Inuit. we're literally using a slur from another tribe to refer to them.

Our northern territories are where Canadian children go when they reach the cusp of adulthood. The winners roam the tundra and return with moose flannel and a beard and the losers remain and huff gas from a bombardier forever

silly mane posted:i met a middle aged german dude at a hostel in uruguay about 3 weeks ago and he told me two cool things about the city of Yellowknife which is the capital of the Northwest Territories: one is that it is a decent sized city in the middle of nowhere that just kind of appears after you drive hours in the forest, and the second is that Japanese tourism is one of their biggest industries because there is a Japanese belief that children conceived under the aurora borealis will turn out to be gifted so a lot of Japanese people go there and gently caress outside lol I wonder if the locals give then friendly advice that waiting until it's warm is actually the worst thing to do in yellow knife if you want to expose your bare rear end outside

Alcohol is illegal in most of the communities up there. Warehouses for the alcohol permitted for some citizens and establishments is kept under guard. You can make over $200 for a bottle of Smirnoff. Per capita the three territories lead Canada in rape, murder, alcoholism and assault. People go missing/freeze to death all the time up there after drinking and wandering off.

Everything has to be flown in. Vegetables, fruits and other necessities are subsidized by the government so they don't cost much more than they do down south, but stuff like potato chips cost an astronomical amount of money because of how expensive shipping stuff up there is.
