Canada country

                                 CANADA 

Canada is a country in the northern part of the North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and northward into the Arctic Oceans, covering 9.98 million square kilometres (3.85 million square miles), making it the world's  second-largest country by total area. Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching 8,891 kilometres (5,525 mi), is the world's longest bi-national land border. Canada's capital is Ottawa , and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and  Vancouver.

Canada has the seventeenth-highest nominal per-capita income globally as well as the thirteenth-highest ranking in the Human Development Index. Its advanced economy is the  tenth-largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks. Canada is part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the United Nations, NATO, the G7, the Group of Ten, the G20, the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement and the Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation forum.

it, the capital of Nunavut, is just south of the Arctic Circle and remains very cold except for the months of July and August, when the July average maximum is only 12°C (54°F). On the other hand, the coastlines of British Columbia are very mild for their latitude, remaining above freezing for most of winter, yet they are not far away from some of the largest mountain glaciers found on the continent.


Culture

The culture of Canada embodies the artistic, culinary, literary, humor, musical, political and social elements that are representative of Canada and Canadians. Throughout Canada's history, its culture has been influenced by European culture and traditions, mostly by the   British and French, and by its own indigenous culture . Over time, elements of the cultures of Canada's immigrant populations have become incorporated to form a Canadian cultural mosaic. The population has also been influenced by American culture because of a shared language, proximity, television and migration between the two countries.
