Laurentian elites, that small permanent governing class made up of professional politicians, bureaucrats, academics and journalists from the same central Canadian cities near or by the St. Lawrence River,

Anyone care to guess where the majority of Canada's population is located?

Ummm.... how about "The majority of Canadians live within somewhere between ten and one hundred miles of the U.S. border"? A bit more in the far/Pacific west as long as warm currents move up the coast. The crucial factor here is Warmer is Better. (At least for Canadians; as a Southern Califonian barely recupuerating from a record number of 100+degrees F. days, I'm contemplating emigrating to costal B.C.)

I think James is implying that they mostly live near the border consisting of the St. Lawrence river, a good deal south of the straight east-west line to the west. Not many Canadians in southern Manitoba or Alberta.
