The remote extreme North and Liberalism (or Conservatism)

[Хahar 🤔]

Far northern Canada is heavily impoverished ethnic minority (Inuit). Far northern Sweden is also heavily impoverished ethnic minority (Sami), and also generally impoverished even where not heavily minority (along the coast). The far northern US is not mostly ethnic minority and not generally impoverished, although in the areas where it is (e.g., Glacier County, MT), it is heavily Democratic.

Yeah. Places like Shannon County, SD are the best parallels to much of the Arctic.

It's worth noting that the current Premier of the Yukon used to be a member of the NDP back when they were in government there.
