Canada

Canada is the most northern country in the Americas, it is a vast not heavily populated country with many diverse attractions to visit.  
The most impressive thing of Canada is the size of it – we are looking at the second largest country in the world – a bit bigger then USA, but with just the fraction of the population of USA. Adding to this the fact that 90% of this population lives in the southern 160 km. wide region of the country we see that we have one unique differentiation of several urban areas and vast spaces with small or no population at all. The main reason for this is the rough climate and nature of the northern parts of Canada, which forced the most of the population to live in the south. 
From its large cosmopolitan cities to its frozen northern tundra; its snowy mountain peaks to its rugged coastlines; and its rich farmlands to its pioneering outposts, Canada offers something to suit the taste of every traveler. Canada is bound in the west by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the north by the polar ice-cap, and in the south by the United States of America. It is a country renowned for its stunningly beautiful scenery and love of the outdoors. Even the cities have been carefully designed to preserve metropolitan green belts and park-lands, ensuring that Canadians are never far from their natural heritage. The country has a French and British colonial heritage, which is reflected in its cuisine, culture and customs, mixed in with the legacy of the country’s own enigmatic aboriginal First Nations history. In the south the Rocky Mountains intrude into Canada across the border with the United States, separating Canada’s two main tourist provinces, British Columbia and Alberta. The mountains abound with winter sports resorts. Throughout the nation the most popular venues for outdoor pursuits, year round, are the country’s huge national parks. There are more than 41 of these, one of them, Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta, being larger than the country of Switzerland. Canadian national parks are unique in that they have cities and towns inside the protected areas, which provide comfortable bases for exploring the natural and man-made attractions of the reserves.
Canada was populated for thousands of years by North American Indians, which were later pushed from the settlement of Europeans (English and French in the beginning). However nowadays there are vast territories of Canada that are created by the Government of Canada in order to preserve the way of live of the Indigenous peoples and they form a significant part of Canada's population. There is plenty of room in Canada for everyone for the moment, as its spanning at 6 time zones and 3 oceans.
Up until the 18th century the land of Canada were claimed by 2 European countries – England and France. This ended with the Anglo-French war and the capitulation of New France to Britain. Later in the 18th century USA tried to take control and to this part of America, but Canada remained part of the British empire. Nowadays Canada is an independent country with the the British monarch still formal head of the country. The official languages spoken in Canada are English and French, French being used rapidly in the province of Quebec.
