Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Canada country profile
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced to resign after nine years of tenure. Canada takes up about two-fifths of the North American continent, making it the second-largest country in the world after Russia. The country is sparsely populated, with most of its residents living within 200 km of its border with the US. Canada’s expansive wilderness to the north plays a large role in Canadian identity, as does the country’s reputation of welcoming immigrants, the main driver of its population growth of ten million between 1977 and 2023. The current population is a little over 41 million. Canada officially became a country on July 1, 1867, when all the former colonies and territories that became involved in the Canadian Confederation joined. It now consists of 10 provinces and three northern territories. Ontario is the largest province with nearly one-third of the country’s population. French-speaking Quebec is the second most populated province followed by British Columbia. Do you know which city is the capital of Canada and these three most populous provinces, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, or Toronto?
