Everything from Canada
Canada is the second-largest country in the world. It spans North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific and north to the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares the world’s longest land border with the United States. The geography is vast and diverse, including tundra and prairies. Mountain ranges like the Rockies, and forests cover much of its territory. Historically, it was inhabited by Indigenous peoples before becoming a colony contested by France and Britain, ultimately under British rule until confederation in 1867.
Today, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy with about 40 million people. Ottawa is the capital, while Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are major urban centers. Canada is known for its multicultural society, bilingualism in English and French, and natural wonders such as Niagara Falls, Banff, and the Northern Lights.
