More information about the video content bellow:
1. Nunavut is the newest, largest, and northernmost territory of Canada. It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999. Discussions on dividing the Northwest Territories along ethnic lines began in the 1950s, On April 14, 1982, a plebiscite on division was held throughout the Northwest Territories. A majority of the residents voted in favour and the federal government gave a conditional agreement seven months later. The land claims agreement was completed in September 1992 and ratified by nearly 85% of the voters in Nunavut in a referendum. On July 9, 1993, the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act and the Nunavut Act were passed by the Canadian Parliament. The transition to establish Nunavut Territory was completed on April 1, 1999.
2. Joining Canada in 1999 and since then the territory has slowly been catching up to the rest of the country in some regards, 85% of the population is native and 60% do not really speak fluent English, 18% graduate high school, 11% attend post secondary school. The territory is run by elders who do not care to join any Canadian politics. They govern themselves in a democratic way and do their best to take care of one another.
3. Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut. 6,699 people call Iqaluit home making the city Canada’s smallest capital by population-which is ironic because Nunavut is the country’s largest region by area. It takes up two million square kilometres.
4.Nunavut is by far the most secluded territory in Canada with virtually no roads and most of the area being islands, food costs are sky high because they require planes to fly in. Staples like bread, milk and eggs are up to 10x what you would pay anywhere else in the country.
5. The territory has four official languages. While the stop signs may be in English and Inuktitut, French and Inuinnaqtun are also official languages in Nunavut.
6. Oil Is The Only Heat. Nunavut relies completely on oil to heat their homes and businesses. There are virtually no trees in the territory so wood fire is unsustainable and the price of electric heat would be outrageous leaving residents with just the one choice. Oil is delivered once a year and is distributed to residents throughout the remainder of the time.
7. Nunavut has no paved highways, and no paved roads between communities and no real paved roads in the smaller towns… However there is roughly 8KM of paving within the city of Iqaluit.

this video is so much better listening at 1.5 speed, or 1.25.
1.25 is better, 1.5 is too fast.
nah 2x
Hey Canada from Chicago in the U.S.A!
🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
Love the facts and the clear amount of research that went on for this video!
Greetings from Iqaluit!
And the housing, shelters, sheds, tents, igloos, and apartments are all neat
Don’t forgot, life up here is tough with the highest suicide rate in Canada
love it
I was waiting for this, nice video. Yo and I can’t imagine living here. No way
It is a beautiful place, the natural beauty is probably breathtaking. But living there is pretty much out of the question.
It's not that bad
you sound like the asian reporter in Family guys
:)))))))

I guess the Yukon is last and what about countries north of Canada such as north east land and salvabard?
Thomas Dinsmore I second that, Svalbard would be good, but it’s not a country, it’s Norway.
As Michael has said, those aren't countries, but constituent parts of Norway, as unincorporated areas. I'm not sure what the question is, but if you're asking if I'll make a video about such areas too, the answer is maybe. But not right now.
No offense if you are from the Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut, but the territories are some of the loneliest and most desolate places in the world!
that's what my g/f Paulette told me after relcoting there to work in property management.
i visited whitehorse recently. For such a small, rural feeling town, housing is extremely expensive.
I'm European and in love with Canada, and I'm wondering what's between the Canadian road system and the road system on Nunavut, if there is any road system, is it just ice plates or national parks or plain fields? I tried to look on Google and Google maps but I can't get a clear image/picture in my head of what is occupying the space
@Yukoner2729 ohhh
Other then the very bottom part of nunavut there are no rode systems from town to town. Gotta take a very expensive plain ride or decently expensive long ride with inuit through bot or skidoo. I'd recommend NWT or Yukon
I was born there
WHERE ARE U NOW?
where are you now
Yellowknife
@@RndompersonGenerated yea Yellowknife is such an awesome town, I would love visit it along with Whitehorse
Sorry I can’t sub but I can like for some reason

My home❤️🇨🇦
You live in canada ( normal ) but is tecnically imposible that you live in nunavut , as you see canada has 37 millon and nunavut has 38000 people , in total , you need 970 nunavuts to get the canada poblation , that means that of 970 canadians , one is nunavutian
That logic makes about as much sense as saying it's impossible to live in Wyoming USA
@@User-xj8su I though only 32 million people live in canada maybe I'm wrong I'm not sure I'm not canadian
@@User-xj8su i wish i lived there i live in nunavik
Finally someone learns how to say iqaluit and not saying some dumb shit like ikawlooit
