I hear this a lot. Is there any reason why people are not scooping up Canadian wilderness properties right now?

Well, it’s not going to become valuable for probably another 6 generations. You’ll be long dead by then, but your great great great great ancestors might benefit from it.

A lot of it is the Canadian Shield - which probably isn't the most desirable property (thankfully):

Because climate change isn't going to make the Canadian Shield, and muskeg, any more valuable than it is now.

To put another way, if muskeg were worth using, it would have been used a century ago.
