Behold, the frosty arctic tundra
that is The Great White North. Also known as Canada, or as geography enthusiasts sometimes call it: "Extremely Northern North America".
If the endless snow packed landscapes and brutal arctic frigidity of The Great White North have taught our Canadian friends anything it's how to stay warm by utilizing the power of Metal. Seriously, don't deny the permafrost melting, aurora generating power of Canadian Metal.
