Canada, is a
federated country in North America, made up of ten provinces and
three territories. Canada is a vast nation with a wide variety
of geological formations, climates, and ecological systems. It
has rain forest, prairie grassland, deciduous forest, tundra,
and wetlands. Canada has more lakes and inland waters than any
other country. It is renowned for its scenery, which attracts
millions of tourists each year. Canada is the second largest
country in the world but has about the same population as the
state of California. This is because the north of Canada, with
its harsh Arctic and sub-Arctic climates, is sparsely inhabited.
Most Canadians live in the southern part of the country. More
than three-quarters of them live in metropolitan areas, the
largest of which are Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Ottawa-Hull,
and Edmonton. French and English are the official languages.
Canada’s prosperity and diversity have encouraged a variety of
artistic pursuits. Most major cities have symphony orchestras,
opera companies, classical and modern dance groups, and live
theater. Canada has impressive reserves of timber, minerals, and
fresh water, and many of its industries are based on these
resources. Many of its rivers have been harnessed for
hydroelectric power, and it is self-sufficient in fossil fuel.
Canada is a parliamentary democracy, and the federal,
provincial, and territorial legislatures are all elected.
However, Canada’s sovereign is a monarch, the queen of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
