Canada

Canada is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories, covering 9.98 million square kilometers, extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, making it the second largest country in the world by total area.

Its capital city is Ottawa. The official languages are English and French. The Canadian dollar (CA$ or C$) is the currency. According to the 2016 census, the population of Canada is 35,151,728 (57.3% of the population).[2] Its metropolitan area is known as the Golden Horseshoe, spanning the Great Lakes region from southern Ontario to the northeastern United States.

Canada is a relatively isolated nation in which immigration has always been an essential part of its identity. For decades, it has welcomed waves of newcomers, from the French in the early part of the last century to recent arrivals from Bhutan and Myanmar.

But the idea that the country, where one-third of residents were born outside Canada, can accommodate newcomers while meeting the aspirations of existing residents — that is, attracting and retaining high-skilled workers and entrepreneurs — has proved elusive.

With a combination of cold winters and warm summers, Canada’s climate is mostly temperate. Unlike many countries in the Northern Hemisphere, Canada is not near the Tropic of Cancer or the Arctic Circle. Its proximity to these regions results in a temperate winter climate and cool summers. Precipitation varies considerably across the country, with some parts of the interior having less than 2 metres (6.6 ft) of precipitation annually while the western parts have higher precipitation than that. The snowiest location is Whitehorse, Yukon, with 248.3 cm (8.09 ft) of annual precipitation, and the driest is Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador, with 0.5 mm (0.01 in) of precipitation annually. Canada has a total of 7,538,958.2 square kilometres (2,676,595.2 sq mi) of land area.[3]

Canada is a relatively mature market for streaming-video services and still less developed in other sectors such as online retailing. Given that experience, it’s a bit surprising that the government wants to change the Broadcasting Act.

A stable and safe country, with the longest coastline in the world, situated between Vancouver and Halifax on the northern coast of North America. It has a well-developed infrastructure and its population is the second largest in the world. The official language is English and French.

Canada is one of the world’s foremost peacekeepers and a charter member of the UN. It has been a member of the G8 since it was established in 1978. Canada has always prided itself on its welfare state and boasts the world’s best healthcare and education systems. Its generous social benefits were the largest in the OECD in 2014.
