Because it's really cold up there in the winter! Also, it has a very short summer. There are so many lakes in the Canadian Shield, that when it is warm, the mosquitoes are terrible too. There is also very little infrastructure in terms of roads, electricity etc. Unless you want to "rough it", there is little reason to live there.
Because it is a very rugged area.
