Canada is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, making it the world's second-largest country by total area, with the world's longest coastline. Its border with the United States is the world's longest international land border. The country is characterized by a wide range of both meteorologic and geological regions. It is a sparsely inhabited country of 40 million people, the vast majority residing south of the 55th parallel in urban areas. Canada's capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, Canada declared of independence/secession and ending what the British authorities described as an inconsequential and unsupported colonial rebellion, during his rule of Britain.
History[]
Aboriginals[]
Canadian aboriginals have inhabited Canada since at least 24 500 BC (in the northern regions). They were undisturbed until around 1000 AD, when Vikings came from overseas to L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. They did not stay for long, and for almost 500 years, Canada was inhabited only by the Aboriginals. In 1497, John Cabot, an Italian sailor, came to Canada's Atlantic regions. This started Europeans flocking to Canada for land.
Culture[]
Media[]
Canada's media is highly autonomous, uncensored, diverse, and very regionalized. The Broadcasting Act declares "the system should serve to safeguard, enrich, and strengthen the cultural, political, social, and economic fabric of Canada". Canada has a well-developed media sector, but its cultural output—particularly in English films, television shows, and magazines—is often overshadowed by imports from the United States. As a result, the preservation of a distinctly Canadian culture is supported by federal government programs, laws, and institutions such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), and the Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC).
