Never thought of it that way though.
The quote is equally true up to about 150k if I am not mistaken, so it's immaterial. North America's north is ridiculously sparsely populated. Something like 90% of Canadians live within 500 k of the US border.

The only more populated northern urban centres in the world are in Russia. Helsinki too but Edmonton is actually catching up to it in terms of population. Still way back of St. Petersburgh and Moscow though!
