I recall some figure that 90% of the Canadian population lives in a thin band extending a few hundred miles north of the US border. So average population density is very misleading.
Over half of all Canadians live at a lattitude south of Seattle.
Most of Canada's population live in the small area between Toronto and Montreal.
What I'm saying is that population density using Canada as a whole is a dumb statistic. Where there's people in Canada, there's lots of them, and most of the land area is literally uninhabitable by almost any standard.
