A sizable percentage of North America’s northern region is in Canada. The North Pacific Ocean to the west, the North Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Arctic Ocean to the north bounded the country.

It borders Alaska (USA) to the west and the twelve US states that make up the US mainland to the south. Its border with its neighbor to the south mostly follows the 45th parallel (north). At 8,891 km (5,525 miles), it is the longest global outskirt in the world, connecting two countries.

Canada grants Denmark’s self-governing territory, Greenland, and the small island nation of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which shares borders with France, oceanic fringes.

With a total area of 9,984,670 km2, the country is the largest in the Western Hemisphere. When it comes to size, it is either several times larger than France or slightly larger than the US.

There are 10 regions, three regions, and thirteen sub-public divisions in Canada. Every region has a local system of government in place. For a considerable period, the region that is now Canada was a part of pre-colonial North America. During the nineteenth century, the area became a self-governing community with ties to the British monarchy. The British North America Act created Canada on July 1, 1867, incorporating the four basic regions of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

Canada is divided into multiple topographical regions, and its landscape provides a diverse range of shared perspectives. The largest geological region in the country, the Canadian Shield, centers on Hudson Bay and covers a sizable chunk of the country. Marshes encircle much of southeast Canada, which is bordered by the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario).

With 38 million people living there (as of 2020), Canada makes up only 10% of the population of the adjacent United States. Toronto is the largest city, and Ottawa serves as the public capital. French and English are spoken in dialects.

One of the safest and friendliest countries on the planet, Canada is home to people who value their generally comfortable lifestyles free from severe hardship. Although the lifestyle of any country would obviously fluctuate significantly from person to person, a look at several social metrics highlights the many things for which Canadians can be thankful, as well as the areas in which improvements are truly needed. The percentage of home owners in Canada is about 66%. The majority of Canadians who do not own a mortgage rent a home, apartment, or loft from a landowner or property partnership.

Most Canadians live with their parents until they are in their 20s, at which point they rent until they are in their 30s, at which point they usually rent a house or an apartment, usually with a partner. Still, a growing number of Canadians are choosing to rent for longer periods of time than in the past. Overpriced real estate is becoming a growing concern in several of Canada’s large cities, where land prices are among the highest on the globe. Massive house loans have a major role in the high rates of Canadian debt (see below).

According to estimates from the Canadian government, between 150,000 and 300,000 people “experience vagrancy” in any given year—that is, they unavoidably run out of permanent housing. Most Canadians in need of temporary housing are provided by an organization of impoverished asylum seekers, supported by the government and charitable organizations. Men in their middle years make up a significant section of Canada’s impoverished population, with Native Canadians being disproportionately overrepresented.

Approximately half of the other half passes away from a variety of other common ailments and conditions that typically affect people later in life. These conditions include respiratory diseases, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, pneumonia, and sometimes even the euphemism “old age.” A high standard of living is valued by Canadians due to the country’s robust economy. In Canada, the middle annual family pay, which indicates that there are an equal number of families earning more and less, was determined to be $78,870 in 2014.
