“The Paris of the north.” Really?

“Paris of the [blank]” was a pretty standard phrase used to attract settlers.
“Paris of the Prairies” was commonly used to describe Winnipeg, but also Saskatoon as noted in the Tragically Hip song Wheat Kings.

Nope, i haven’t a clue. I’m just an ignorant Scot who’s judging by online photos. I’m sure it’s lovely, but i can’t see anything Parisian about the locale, architecture, or cuisine. Haven’t seen anything about the dancing girls, so that’s to play for!
Can i infer from your question that Whitehorse is, in fact, a shitehole?
