Canada occupies such an amazingly large swath of upper North American that, understandably, one can overlook exactly how far south<\/i> the country actually extends. The Province of Ontario contains its most southerly extremes: on the mainland at Point Pelee; on solid land at the edge of Middle Island; and on open water at an international boundary upon Lake Erie just south of Middle Island. I may have more to say about Point Pelee and Middle Island someday in the future, but for now I\u2019d like to focus on that line of latitude that happens to nick Canada\u2019s absolute southernmost reach, that portion of the boundary running through Lake Erie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
