Canada is draped in fascinating history and a strong sense of independence. Not only is Canada the second largest country in the world but is also the largest country in the Western hemisphere. When taking a poll on the best country to work and live in Canada was voted number one for many years by the United Nation. Being Canadian means you take pride in diversity and multiculturalism, unity, freedom and independence, setting them aside from most country’s these values are the characteristics of being Canadian. Canada consists of ten provinces and three territories, uniting North America to Canada is the five lakes reside in separate basins; they form a single, naturally interconnected body of fresh water, within the Great Lakes Basin. The lakes form a chain connecting the east-central interior of North America to the Atlantic Ocean.
Canada is rich in natural resources. It is a world leader in value of mineral exports and produces and exports many of the mineral needed for modern industrial economies. Canada’s one of the world’s largest exporters of agricultural products. Forests cover much of the land, and Canada is the world’s largest exporter of newsprint and a leading supplier of lumber, pulp, paper, and wood products. Another booming industry that the whole country benefits off of is the Flooring industry, the Canadian carpet industry produces millions of dollars’ worth of quality carpeting every year. In fact, the carpet industry in North America is the largest one in the world, more so than in Europe or the Middle East. You’ll discover a high quality product and know that you’ve helped strengthen Canada’s growing economy and helps create jobs.
There are numerous famous people from Canada and I will tell you about some of them. Some of the singers include, Shania Twain, Celine Dione, Nelly Furtado, Seth Rogen, Corey Hart, The Bare Naked Ladies, and Drake. Some of the sports stars include, Wayne Gretzky, Dr. James Naismith (creator of basketball), Owen Hart, Bret Hart, and Patrick Roy. Some of the actors and actresses include, Michael J. Fox, Mike Myers, Jim Carey, and Pamela Anderson. Not to mention Canada’s most successful NHL team has been the Montreal Canadians, they have won an astonishing 23 Stanley Cups. Canada has produced some of the best singers, actors, and sports figures in the world and I think this is a trend that’s going to continue well into the next millennium.
