As an Alaskan, that Yukon round was instant recognition! The tall spindly black trees are white or black spruce, a sign of boggy soil. They also burn *very* easily.

In Geography Now's special on the Canadian provinces, someone wrote something like "Maritime Provinces=New England, Quebec=Louisiana (or maybe the former Acadia regions of Maine where the Cajuns orginated), Ontario=New York or maybe Illinois (Toronto is a lot more similar to Chicago geographically), Manitoba=Minnesota, Saskatchewan=North Dakota, Alberta=Montana or maybe Texas (historic dependence on cattle ranching and oil, perhaps the most conservative province), British Columba=Washington State or maybe California (kind of a hippie vibe, actually has some surfing beaches on Vancouver Island's west coast), Yukon=Alaska. Not sure what the best US equivalents for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are. Maybe Alaska's North Slope?

I found out about these types of trees through Geoguessr and instantly fell in love with them. They're what led me to begin planning a move to the Yukon territory.

A good tip for PEI (aside from the red soil) are that the vast majority of poles have a small thin rectugal white sticker on them. You can see them well in the first two PEI rounds you got. Great job, as usual! Your videos are always great. And another Canada episode would be awesome! Sincerely, an Islander

I live in Washington and the two BC rounds I immediately screamed out Washington which made me confident both were BC once I remembered you were playing Canada only 😂. I love Canada. Such a beautiful country. This video makes me really want to see eastern Canada like PEI and Nova Scotia. Looks gorgeous over there.

I love that on that first Nova Scotia round, I knew it not because of Halifax, which I didn't see until it was pointed out, but because of New Minas, which is a town I only know about because they have one of the worst flags I've ever seen!

5:19 here you can see the sask poles. The poles have one insulator one each side and the middle insulator alternates from one side to the other from pole to pole.

3:23 in new york there's a lot of yiddish signs in certain areas because there's very large hasidic jewish communities in certain parts of the state and if you see yiddish (looks like hebrew) signs everywhere in a suburban or foresty area you're probably in the western Hudson valley across the hudson river in downstate new york (if everything looks American at least which is obvious)

In Quebec, if you are looking at poles, the top insulator is usually mounted sideways. Other provinces don't do that.

Happy New Year! Do you think you'll try your luck in Australia at some point? It's kinda similar to Canada in that it consists of a relatively small number of large states (yes, they call them states, not provinces); obviously the climate is not so similar. EDIT: Guess you already did Australia.

Yeah did a bit of Australia guessing with Zigzag, I'll def try it again sometime though!

My best is only 8, and that came in a run that had 6 easy to recognize rounds. So a 4 streak, pretty decent. Newfie is the hardest one for me, because it looks like left over parts of 7 other Provinces were just merged together into 1 place.

I think you did very well here. The only real distinct looking places in Canada are the badland and mountainous regions of Alberta, the mountainous areas of BC, and the northern rain forest areas of Vancouver Island and Western BC. Everything else looks very similar and is very tough to guess.
