Which of these two climates located at the same temperate latitude (58°N) at low elevation more resemble a classic 4 season climate like you see in cartoons?
well they are certantly no where near the classic, but Inukjuak is definitely more continental, where as Wick is very oceanic. Also Inukjuak gets hotter record highs so my answer is Inukjuak.
Neither of them. Wick is too mild, and you're probably not going to find a "cartoon 4 seasons" climate at 58N inland in North America.
Inukjuak is inland? It's right on the coast of the Hudson Bay...
Anyways neither is a 4-season climate but Wick has a summer-winter mean difference of 20F while Inukjuak's is 60F, plus it has snowy subfreezing winters, so it's pretty much clear.
I'd go with Inukjuak for far more temperature spread between seasons despite their "summers" being too cold to grow anything. Wick's "summers" are also a total joke but their winters aren't that much colder and they grow a wide range of oceanic vegetation. Of course, both climates are utter garbage as anything of that latitude.

By "inland" I meant "away from big oceans." Hudson Bay is frozen over half the year anyway.
Why is Inukjuak closer? At least trees grow in Wick and they do get some snow. Inukjuak doesn't have a growing season and Wick does. Isn't that a prerequisite to having a four season climate?
