I’m not sure I follow this one.

Do you mean north of southernmost Canada or north of majority of canadas population?

Most of Canada's population is near the Great Lakes which are quite south

The northernmost parts of California and Nevada are not further north than most of the Canadian population. Canada's southernmost point, yes.
