More Information
Canada is a vast country - the second largest in the world - with a wealth of natural resources including minerals and fossil fuels, forest and fish. Its small but diverse population, comprising First Nation peoples and, mainly immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa, enjoys one of the world's highest standards of living. Most Canadians live within 200km of the border with the USA, and much of Canada's trade is with the USA. Canadian industry is largely based on the country's natural resources, though in recent years more modern industries have been established and Canada now leads the world in some fields of high technology.
