That depends on whether you consider "Northern Canada" 1st world or not. I'm sure many of it's inhabitants would be happy just living in 2nd world conditions (visit most First Nations Reserves in any part of Canada and experience the 3rd world in North America).

Beside, most of Southern Canada, say bellow the 54th parallel is A.O.K. as far as internet and phone connectivity goes today. Well, except paying through the nose for a Gig of data (wired or wireless) compared to many parts of the world.

Or lost one, premature or otherwise.

2005 wants their news back, http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=7255627&KC=&FT=E

Of course marketing wisely removed the "You make a grown man cry...." lines from "Start Me Up"
