North Ontario vs South Ontario

If my family were to move to any province in Canada it would definitely be Ontario, here are my reasons. First of all, and most importantly, is that Ontario is the closest province to The United States, where most of my friends and family live. Which is Minnesota, this creates an even bigger dispute, because we would have to choose between North Ontario, which is a neighbor to Minnesota, which is where almost all the minerals in Ontario are mined. North Ontario is mostly woodlands and mountains, on the other hand South Ontario is filled with cities and the economy is better. Despite bearing some similarities, the differences between North Ontario and South Ontario are significant.

First of all, to solve this dispute, let’s talk about what each respective region is known for. Starting with North Ontario, North Ontario is mostly known for the large mining productions, dense forests, which of course produce large amounts of wood. Most of northern Ontario lies in the vast Canadian, or Precambrian, Shield. This Shield sweeps across much of Canada. The Shield consists largely of worn-down mountain ranges. Also North Ontario has colder than average temperature, sort of like Minnesota but a step up in the cold department. Most of the “large towns” in North Ontario are around or close to the large mining facilities. Close to all the residencies in North Ontario are relatively small villages, which I like to call in the middle of nowhere because they’re so much wood land, with the exception of the “large towns.” Surprisingly enough North Ontario only consists of one tenth of the population of the already largely populated Ontario, which is already heavily populated with a whooping one third of Canada’s entire population.

Next, let’s analyze my general description of South Ontario. South Ontario is completely different from North Ontario, you might ask yourself: Why exactly is it different? Let’s start off with the land features of South Ontario. Most of the land in southern Ontario is gently rolling country. It is planted to pasture, orchards, and tobacco and field crops. The most notable physical feature of the area is the Niagara Escarpment. This is a steep limestone ridge. It rises like a huge step and runs from the Niagara River northwest to Lake Huron. The spectacular Niagara Falls are formed where the waters of the Niagara River tumble over the escarpment. South Ontario consists mostly of suburban cities, which leads to more people living in the Southern region of Ontario obviously compared to North
