Canada

Canada is a primary location within The Suffering. Although most of it was destroyed by The Great Blizzard, many small areas such as Churchill, Vancouver and Nova Scotia had full recoveries shortly after the outbreaks. Canada saw 45% of its citizens surviving with roughly about 10% of the population dying by the plague and 45% by the Blizzard.

Apocalypse
Canada was not hit as hard as its neighbor (the United States) by the plague which could be due to the closure of its borders within mid 2021 and the call for all of its citizens to return to their homeland by August 2021.

However, the nation was hit by the three waves of The Great Blizzard, which killed nearly all Canadians living above Vancouver. For this, Vancouver was seen as a safe stronghold by the Government and many survivors fleeing south due to the harsh weathers north and the strict border to the south. From there, Vancouver was the starter point of the liberation in North America from 2022-2025. It is estimated only 10% of Vancouver died during the apocalypse.

In March 2022, vigilantes self-liberated the peninsula of Nova Scotia but paused at Moncton to also liberate Prince Edward Island. The safe-zone was later re-captured by the Canadian Government and was posed as a stronghold for survivors in the East. Together, Vancouver and Nova Scotia worked together to liberate most areas untouched by the blizzards as well as helping the States liberate their lands.

In 2023, Canada reached the "Lost City of Churchill" and started a trade route to help liberate Northern Canada. In 2024, Canada re-formed the Parliament and re-started elections for a Prime Minister. The country was classified as "back to normal" by 2025, despite the blizzard's destruction.
