Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and itscommon border with the United States is the world's longest land border.
The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the French and Indian War, which was essentially the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began anaccretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy, culminating in the Canada Act 1982.
Canada is a federal state governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual and multicultural at the federal level, with a population of approximately 35 million as of 2013. Canada's advanced economy is one of the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed trade networks, especially with the United States, with which it has had a long and complex relationship.
Canada is a developed country, with the ninth highest per capita income globally, and the 11th highest ranking in human development. Subsequently, Canada ranks among the highest in international measurements of education, government

    Autonomy In Canada Essay

    • 588 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Canada was settled by France and Britain, starting from the late 15th century. Then, the former had to cede nearly all of its colonies to Britain in 1763 following the Seven Years’ War. Yet, Canada gradually became independent from Britain, and is now a fully independent state in terms of domestic and foreign policy. Actually, the process of increasing autonomy started in the late 19th century and ended with the Canada Act of 1982 which served as the nation’s legal independence from the British Parliament. However, even with the attainment of nationhood, Canada has not cut ties with its colonial past and its system of government still depends on the British government and holds striking similarities with it.…

    Canada, it’s a young country with a lot of history behind it. Canada’s history is most important during 1867 to 1905. Many changes happened to Canada during this time, here are some of them. Firstly, John A. Macdonald started the confederation. The Dominion of Canada first became introduced four provinces on July 1st 1867 (H60). These four provinces were Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Secondly, a small piece of Manitoba today had formed in 1870. Manitoba becomes Canada’s 5th province. During 1871 Canada had grown. It had obtained The North West Territories which took a large portion of Manitoba today; Nunavut. British Colombia joined the confederation making it Canada’s 1st territory. All of these are indicated as yellow on the map. They also had gotten Newfound Land but was later removed and re-added (According to textbook map. Other sources say Newfound Land was only added during this time and never removed (Website 1 and 2)). Thirdly, two years later during 1873, new land had been obtained and lost. Prince Edward Island or P.E.I had joined Canada, making it Canada’s 7th province. Although we had gotten P.E.I we lost Newfound Land. Newfound Land would be the 8th province added. This is indicated green on the map. 1873 wasn’t too exciting as you can see. Fourthly, during 1898 1 territory was made and existing lands became bigger. The Yukon Territory was made, this was the 2nd territory. Yukon was the only land that was made however 3 provinces grew larger in size, Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. The added territory and growths are coloured orange. Lastly, in 1905 the 9th and 10th provinces were added in which were Alberta and Saskatchewan (All Website 1 and 2) which are coloured red. As you can see a lot of changes had happened during these 38 years but we have yet to discuss Nunavut which was created in 1999. Canada now has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Canada has been through many changes for it to become the…

    Yes, I agree with the United Nations about their decision to rank Canada as one of the best countries to live in. Canada is a wonderful place to live thanks to how diverse it is. This country is filled with people from different cultures and backgrounds, which is why it is sometimes called a ‘ cultural mosaic’. Being a cultural mosaic means that we allow every culture to keep their identity instead of telling them to conform to a certain way of life. The people…

This status establishes the fact that they are a “nation which is recognized on an international scale with a large influence globally, however they do not have dominance over any one area” (Pagtakhan, personal communication, March 12, 2013). This status was achieved primarily because of their international fiscal aid and technological advancements. Canada, however it was incapable of reaching the status of a superpower due to their relations in the international arena with China and Cuba.…

    Everyone asks whether a free market economy or a command economy is better. Well both of these economies have their advantages and disadvantages. Each of these types of economies has its own unique positives and negatives. It may seem like one economic system is better than another, but it all depends on what the viewer deems important. A market economy allows customers to have many products to choose from and make the choice based on its design, while a command economy eliminates that ability due to little or no business competition.…
