Canada
Canada independent nation (2001 pop 30007094) 3851787 sq mi (9976128 sq km) N North America Canada occupies all of North America N of the United States (and E of Alaska) except for Greenland and the French islands of St Pierre and Miquelon It is bounded on the E by the Atlantic Ocean on the N by the Arctic Ocean and on the W by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska A transcontinental border formed in part by the Great Lakes divides Canada from the United States Nares and Davis straits separate Canada from Greenland The Arctic Archipelago extends far into the Arctic Ocean
Canada is a federation of 10 provinces—Newfoundland and Labrador Nova Scotia New Brunswick Prince Edward Island Quebec Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia—and three territories—Nunavut the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory Canada's capital is Ottawa and its largest city is Toronto Other important cities include Montreal Vancouver Edmonton Calgary Winnipeg Hamilton and Quebec
Land
Canada has a very long and irregular coastline Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St Lawrence indent the east coast and the Inside Passage extends along the west coast The iceclogged straits between the islands of N Canada form the Northwest Passage During the Ice Age all of Canada was covered by a continental ice sheet that scoured and depressed the land surface leaving a covering of glacial drift depositional landforms and innumerable lakes and rivers Aside from the Great Lakes which are only partly in the country the largest lakes of North America—Great Bear Great Slave and Winnipeg—are entirely in Canada The St Lawrence is the chief river of E Canada The Saskatchewan Nelson Churchill and Mackenzie river systems drain central Canada and the Columbia Fraser and Yukon rivers drain the western part of the country
Canada has a bowlshaped geologic structure rimmed by highlands with Hudson Bay at the lowest point The country has eight major physiographic regions—the Canadian Shield the Hudson Bay Lowlands the Western Cordillera the Interior Lowlands the Great Lakes–St Lawrence Lowlands the Appalachians the Arctic Lowlands and the Innuitians
The exposed portions of the Canadian Shield cover more than half of Canada This oncemountainous region which contains the continent's oldest rocks has been worn low by erosion over the millennia Its upturned eastern edge is indented by fjords The Shield is rich in minerals especially iron and nickel and in potential sources of hydroelectric power In the center of the Shield are the Hudson Bay Lowlands encompassing Hudson Bay and the surrounding marshy land
The Western Cordillera a geologically young mountain system parallel to the Pacific coast is composed of a series of northsouth tending ranges and valleys that form the highest and most rugged section of the country Mt Logan (19551 ft5959 m) is the highest point in Canada Part of this region is made up of the Rocky Mts and the Coast Mts which are separated by plateaus and basins The islands off W Canada are partially submerged portions of the Coast Mts The Western Cordillera is also rich in minerals and timber and potential sources of hydroelectric power
Between the Rocky Mts and the Canadian Shield are the Interior Lowlands a vast region filled with sediment from the flanking higher lands The Lowlands are divided into the prairies the plains and the Mackenzie Lowlands The prairies are Canada's granary while grazing is important on the plains
The smallest and southernmost region is the Great Lakes–St Lawrence Lowlands Canada's heartland Dominated by the St Lawrence River and the Great Lakes the region provides a natural corridor into central Canada and the St Lawrence Seaway gives the interior cities access to the Atlantic This section which is composed of
gently rolling surface on sedimentary rocks is the location of extensive farmlands large industrial centers and most of Canada's population In SE Canada and on Newfoundland is the northern end of the Appalachian Mt system an old and geologically complex region with a generally low and rounded relief
The Arctic Lowlands and the Innuitians are the most isolated areas of Canada and are barren and snowcovered for most of the year The Arctic Lowlands comprise much of the Arctic Archipelago and contain sedimentary rocks that may have oilbearing strata In the extreme north mainly on Ellesmere Island is the Innuitian Mt system which rises to c10000 ft (3050 m)
Canada's climate is influenced by latitude and topography The Interior Lowlands make it possible for polar air masses to move south and for subtropical air masses to move north into Canada Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes act to modify the climate locally The Western Cordillera serves as a climatic barrier that prevents polar air masses from reaching the Pacific coast and blocks the moist Pacific winds from reaching into the interior The Cordillera has a typical highland climate that varies with altitude the western slopes receive abundant rainfall and the whole region is forested The Interior Lowlands are in the rain shadow of the Cordillera the southern portion has a steppe climate in which grasses predominate S Canada has a temperate climate with snow in the winter (especially in the east) and cool summers Farther to the north extending to the timberline is the humid subarctic climate characterized by short summers and a snow cover for about half the year The huge boreal forest the largest surviving remnant of the extensive forests that once covered much of North America predominates in this region On the Arctic Archipelago and the northern mainland is the tundra with its mosses and lichen permafrost nearyearround snow cover and ice fields A noted phenomenon off the coast of E Canada is the persistence of dense fog which is formed when the warm air over the Gulf Stream passes over the cold Labrador Current as the two currents meet off Newfoundland
People
About 40 of the Canadian population are of British descent while 27 are of French origin Another 20 are of other European background about 10 are of E or SE Asian origin and some 3 are of aboriginal or Métis (mixed aboriginal and European) background In the late 1990s Canada had the highest immigration rate of any country in the world with more than half the total coming from Asia Over 75 of the total population live in cities Canada has complete religious liberty though its growing multiculturalism has at times caused tensions among ethnic and religious groups About 45 of the people are Roman Catholics while some 40 are Protestant (the largest groups being the United Church of Canada Anglicans and Presbyterians) English and French are the official languages and federal documents are published in both languages In 1991 about 61 of Canadians cited English as their mother tongue while 24 cited French
Economy
Since World War II the development of Canada's manufacturing mining and service sectors has led to the creation of an affluent society Services now account for 66 of the GDP while industry accounts for 31 Tourism and financial services represent some of Canada's most important industries within the service sector However manufacturing is Canada's single most important economic activity The leading products are transportation equipment pulp and paper processed foods chemicals primary and fabricated metals petroleum electrical and electronic products wood products printed materials machinery clothing and nonmetallic minerals Industries are centered in Ontario Quebec and to a lesser extent British Columbia and Alberta Canada's industries depend on the country's rich energy resources which include hydroelectric power petroleum natural gas coal and uranium
Canada is a leading mineral producer although much of its mineral resources are difficult to reach due to permafrost It is the world's largest source of nickel zinc and uranium and a major source of lead asbestos gypsum potash tantalum and cobalt Other important mineral resources are petroleum natural gas copper gold iron ore coal silver diamonds molybdenum and sulfur The mineral wealth is located in many areas some of the most productive regions are Sudbury Ont (copper and nickel) Timmins Ont (lead zinc and silver) and Kimberley British Columbia (lead zinc and silver) Petroleum and natural gas are found in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Agriculture employs about 3 of the population and contributes a similar percentage of the GDP The sources of the greatest farm income are livestock and dairy products Among the biggest incomeearning crops are wheat oats barley corn and canola Canada is one of the world's leading agricultural exporters especially of wheat Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta are the great graingrowing provinces and with Ontario are also the leading sources of beef cattle The main fruitgrowing regions are found in Ontario British Columbia Quebec and Nova Scotia Apples and peaches are the principal fruits grown in Canada More than half of the total land area is forest and Canadian timber production ranks among the highest in the world
