canadian geography

In Canada we have a very diverse and unique geography that has molded the way Canadians live, act and get by day to day. I believe that despite the fact that all the regions of Canada diversely different creating the argument that we have no actual national identity because of some provinces that feel they should be independent and become their own countries, though there are many there are many people who would want provinces like Quebec to be their own country i believe Canada wouldn’t be its own unique country without all of its provinces, territories and regions Canada wouldn’t be the country it is today because of its vasts landscapes that are filled with great resources that have kept our country afloat by being able to trade through our large borders and coastlines.

Because of Canada’s vast varieties of climates and geographical regions Canada has its fair share and variety of natural resources. One of Canada’s most tremendous suppliers of resources is the mountains of British Columbia and the shield region which have tremendous deposits of zinc, lead, nickel, iron, gold and uranium. Canada also has very large oil deposits that are mainly located in the oil sands of Alberta and make Canada one of the largest suppliers of oil and gas in the world. because of Canada’s large coastlines it also has very large fish resources including oysters, cod, mackerel, lobster and herring being Canada’s largest fish exports from atlantic fisheries which are located mostly of the coast Newfoundland, Canada’s pacific fisheries are located all along the coastline of British Columbia, they mainly catch and export salmon, herring and halibut. Inland fisheries aren’t as big nor do they catch as many fish but they are also important for exports and are mostly located near larger lakes and rivers. Canada also has a lot of forestry resources , almost one half of Canada is covered in deciduous and coniferous forests giving it the largest area of certified forests in the world,
