The second, in-depth reference([2]) takes place in Canada... a third-world country?

The Yukon isn't what most people think of as Canada, at least not the part of Canada that has ready access to "first world" (urban infrastructure) type services.

You didn't read past the first line, did you? The experiment was in Dauphin, Manitoba.

Nope, I didn't. Doesn't change too much. Once they try the experiment in all of Canada and make it permanent, then I'll acknowledge the it was tried in Canada. With a city size of just over 8000 (probably 7000 in the 1970s), it isn't likely to have a particularly complex economic environment.
