"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.
New Orleans. Paris de la Sud.
You think Whitehorse is more deserving of that title?
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?
