Canada is the world's
second largest country by total area, occupying most of the
North American Continent extending from the Atlantic Ocean
to the Pacific Ocean and extending northward from it's southern
border with the USA to the Arctic Ocean.
Canada is a federal constitutional monarchy with parliamentary
democracy. Comprising ten provinces and three territories,
Canada is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both
English and French identified as official languages at the
federal level.
A technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada
maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant on
trade—particularly with the United States, with which
Canada has had a long and complex relationship—and its
abundant natural resources. |
