What do you know about Canada?

It is a very big country, large area of wilderness. Freezing cold on some parts of the country. I read that 1/3 of the country have snow that doesn't melt throughout the year.

Canada is a beautiful place,Most people from other part of the world like to settle down in the retirement age.I think the place is so calm and quiet.One of the biggest country(land) and it is less populated.From my view(Read from magazines)the living expense is too low,when I reach 50 I will defenitely try to settle down in Cananda...............

I have only been to Toronto. It was lovely. I liked it. I heard the western side of Canada is gorgeous.

much of the 17th century, the English and French colonies in North America were able to develop in relative isolation from each other. French colonists extensively settled the St. Lawrence River valley, while English colonists largely settled in the Thirteen Colonies to the south. However, as competition for territory, naval bases, furs and fish escalated, several wars broke out between the French, English and Native tribes. The French and Iroquois Wars erupted between the Iroquois Confederation and the Algonquin, with their French allies, over control of the fur trade. A series of four French and Indian Wars were fought between 1689 and 1763; these culminated with a complete British victory in the Seven Years' War. By the terms of Treaty of Paris in 1763, Britain gained control of all of France's North American territory east of the Mississippi River, except for the remote islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. Following the war, the British found themselves in possession of a mostly French-speaking, Roman Catholic territory, whose inhabitants had recently taken up arms against Britain. To avert conflict, Britain passed the Quebec Act of 1774, re-establishing the French language, Catholic faith, and French civil law in Quebec. The act had unforseen consequences for Britain, however, as it angered many residents of the Thirteen Colonies, helping to fuel the American Revolution.[5] Following the independence of the United States, approximately 50,000 United Empire Loyalists moved to Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.[6] As they were unwelcome in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick was carved out of that colony for them in 1784. To accommodate the English-speaking Loyalists in Quebec, the province was divided into francophone Lower Canada and anglophone Upper Canada under the Constitutional Act in 1791. Canada was a major front in the War of 1812 between the United States and British Empire and its successful defence had important long-term effects on Canada, including the building of a sense of unity and nationalism among British North Americans. Large-scale immigration to Canada began in 1815 from Britain and Ireland. A series of agreements led to long-term peace between Canada and the United States, interrupted only briefly by raids made by political insurgents such as the Hunters' Lodges and the Fenian Brotherhood. Following the failed Rebellions of 1837, which demanded responsible government, colonial officials studied the political situation and issued the Durham Report in 1839. One goal—which proved unacceptable for the alliance of anglophone and francophone reformers that had rebelled in 1837—was to assimilate the French Canadians into British culture.[7] The Canadas were merged into a single, quasi-federal colony, the United Province of Canada, with the Act of Union (1840). The signing of the Oregon Treaty by Britain and the United States in 1846 ended the Oregon boundary dispute, extending the border westward along the 49th parallel and ending joint occupation of the Oregon Country/Columbia District. This led to the creation of the Colony of Vancouver Island in 1849 and, with the outbreak of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, the colony of British Columbia in 1858, but both were entirely separate from the United Province of Canada. By the late 1850s, leaders in Canada launched a series of western exploratory expeditions, with the intention of assuming control of Rupert's Land and the Arctic region. The Canadian population grew rapidly because of high birth rates; high European immigration was offset by emigration to the United States, especially by French Canadians moving to New England.

Canada (pronounced /'kæn?d?/ in English and /kanada/ in French) is the world's second-largest country by total area, occupying most of northern North America. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and to the northwest. Inhabited first by Aboriginal peoples, Canada was founded as a union of British and former French colonies. Canada gained independence from the United Kingdom in an incremental process that began in 1867 and ended in 1982. Canada is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. Comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a bilingual and multicultural nation, with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. A technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada maintains a diversified economy heavily reliant on trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship—and abundant natural resources.

I have been there a lot of years ago. Not a long trip, just few days so I cannot say a lot of things. I like it, I'd like visit again and, sooner or later, I'll do.

I have friends migrated to canada and was heard a lots about the coutry from them.....I wish to visit there one day:)

I have been to Canada a couple of times. Once I just crossed the border near Niagara Falls. The other time I took a friend from Montana to see her mother that lived somewhere in Saskatchewan. I can't remember the name of the little town. I liked that area but I have always wanted to see B.C. I have seen pictures. I have met many Canadians and count them as friends. (I am from the U.S. and now live in Nicaragua.) I met some Canadians not long ago that were touring in Costa Rica which is the next coutry over from us here.

I don't know all that much about Canada, but expect to learn more in a few weeks when our son returns home here to Australia. He has been in Canada for about 9 months now and is obviously enjoying it, as he hopes to be able to return there again next year for a bit longer. He says that it is very cold and is looking forward to our summer though. :)

in my mind it is a lang of snow, beauty and opputunities.

1) Spectacular Canadian Cities Although it’s doubtful you’ll get to all of them in one trip, the following cities are the most popular destinations for visitors to Canada. 2) Lots of Canadians head for warmer climates in the winter, but while they're leaving the country, skiiers and other winter enthusiasts from around the world are pouring in. Canada is a famous "northern" destination, yet it's not all igloos and snowcaps. Spring, summer and fall have their own charms and add to Canada's appeal

I've never been (Canada eh) but my impression is that you eat bacon and have lots of Moose... lol I don't know anything really :)
