the us has a population of 325.7 million people compared to canadas 36 million people. think about us expanding sales in canada.
on average, canada has around 100 tornados a year. how does that matter to you and our companys expansion to canada?

Explanation:

When addressing sales - people of an insurance company looking to expand from the US to Canada, a relevant and engaging opener is key. Mentioning population statistics (US vs Canada) directly relates to the potential market size for sales expansion. References to an artist (Emily Carr) or a comedian (Jim Carrey) may not be as directly relevant to the business - focused topic. And the tornado statistic is not relevant to the business expansion context.

Answer:

The US has a population of 325.7 million people compared to Canada's 36 million people. Think about us expanding sales in Canada.
