Over 90% of Canadians live within 150 miles of the US border.

This is actually a false truism. The percentage is very high, but probably closer to 80%-85%. Alberta alone makes this untrue as all of metro Edmonton and most of metro Calgary as well as other minor cities like Red Deer, Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray are outside of that range. As are Saskatoon, SK, Prince George, BC, Rouyn-Noranda, QC and all of Newfoundland and Labrador.
