About Canada :
|
|
Canada is a country occupying most of northern
North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific
Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second
largest country by total area and its common border with the United States to
the south and northwest is the world's longest.
Canada is a federation composed of ten provinces and three territories. In turn,
these may be grouped into regions: Western Canada, Central Canada, Atlantic
Canada, and Northern Canada (the latter made up of the three territories Yukon,
Northwest Territories, and Nunavut). Eastern Canada refers to Central Canada and
Atlantic Canada together. Provinces have more autonomy than territories. Each
has its own provincial or territorial symbols.
