Definition of Canada

Canada is currently one of the largest countries in the world (it is actually the second largest behind Russia), located in the extreme north of America and bordering with the United States in much of its border to the South and to the West (with the U.S. State of Alaska). Due to its extension, Canada is bathed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean and also has proximity to the largest island in the world, Greenland, which belongs to Denmark. Canada has a very particular identity, resulting from the combination of native peoples mostly Eskimo or Inuit and Europeans who arrived in different moments in the history of this land to populate the Virgin Lands. These European settlers (both English and French and Dutch) were those who carried out the process of colonization and urbanization of much of the Canadian territory, establishing urban centers which would later grow to become the imposing cities we know today in many parts. Among them we can mention Quebec, Toronto, Victoria, Vancouver, Ottawa and Winnipeg.
To be located at the northern end of the continent, and to be one of the more northern countries of the planet, the climate of Canada could not be other than cold. Throughout the territory, we find variations, especially in the southern regions where most populous urban centres. In addition, Canada has a significant portion of its surface occupied by lakes and large ponds which contribute to the formation of cold and wet climates.
In terms of their administrative organization, Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories adhered to the Canadian union later. The capital of Canada is the incredible city of Ottawa (located in the province of Ontario) while the city with greater cultural movement, tourism and population is the city of Toronto (located to the South of the same province, almost on the border with the United States).
