Hello,
(ANS) OK!! Canada is a VERY large place, it covers a huge area of the land mass North of the USA, upto Hudsons Bay & the North Pole, Borders with Alaska. It has a lot of very wild and unspoilt landscape left untouched by man i.e. true wilderness.
When I think of canada I think of mile afte mile of forrests & lakes, canada is covered largely by tree's & water. They can have VERY sever winters because of its geographic position.
Canada has its own native people (native indians), in years gone by fur trapping was common, as was fishing, whale hunting,etc.
Canada was I think part of the French empire many years ago & this has left its mark on the country. French is still a dominant language.
Canada still has a strong hunting fishing shooting culture but without the full horrors that we often see in the USA. Canadians DONT have the same gun toting mentiality as in the US, they have a better more relaxed atitude.
**Lots of people seem to accuse Canada & Canadians of being well abit boring really because the are more relaxed & have a more liberal view on life than in constrast to the USA.
**If you want a REALLY GOOD look at Canada as a place I really strongly suggest that you download a free copy of Google Earth which is a Fantastic peice of software. If you have broadband & your computer has a reasonably good quality graphics card. You can look at the whole of canada and even fly over it, look at its big cities. Its a wonderful program, you can download it from the google.com website, just tap in google earth and I'm sure you'll find it.
Best Regards Ivan

i think it began to think of its latest shape in 1867? It has close cultural and historic links with the united kingdom. it particularly is a factor of the Commonwealth and the British Queen is likewise head of state of Canada. even with what some could think of there's a Canadian accessory : it may sound such as the yank one yet pay attention out for the state-of-the-paintings transformations. Its people come from many diverse backgrounds. like the u . s . a ., plenty come initially from Europe yet there are people of all races and nationalities. In 1999 i think the Innnuit people (spelling?) have been given their very own province interior the some distance north of Canada. There additionally are of direction French audio equipment in Canada, the Quebecois, who've their very own province which exceptionally is named Quebec. The Quebec criminal equipment relies on the French Napoleonic criminal code while interior the the remainder of Canada it is in step with British uncomplicated regulation, like interior the u . s . a .. Canada is a federal state, so each and each province has quite some administration over its very own affairs. there's a sturdy healthcare equipment, with coverage for all and Canadians have particularly a sturdy everyday of residing. Vancouver has on occasion been voted between the main suitable cities interior the international. Like international locations everywhere, it does whether have the standard proportion of kin problems. in terms of marketplace, i be attentive to that oil is particularly a huge marketplace in Alberta and that i could think of tourism is particularly sturdy in British Columbia because it is somewhat particularly a scenic province (the Rockies are very captivating) and additionally regular for its snowboarding. i could think of that interior the eastern area of Canada (the Atlantic provinces), fishing is particularly sturdy. As Canada is such an endless united states of america with a huge volume of huge, open area (such because of the fact the prairies) i could wager that agriculture is likewise particularly massive. Having lived in Canada as a newborn, I even have imprecise memories of the grain elevators which you will each so often get. As for international affairs, you frequently do no longer hear plenty from Canada yet on account that September 2001 it particularly is been particularly in contact in Afghanistan whether no longer in Iraq. It supplies the effect of being a united states of america that frequently retains itself to itself and would not pass out of its thank you to harass others. i could think of it performs particularly a place interior the United international locations.

Here is the Canada website. If you look at the menu bar on the left under "topics" you can get "daily life in Canada" and "Provinces in Canada". These expand more into the topics you want like special events, festivals, landmarks, etc.
