CANADA

[I want to tell you something about Canada.]
Canada is with a total area about 9984670 square kilometers the second largest country after Russia.
8% of the area is water. 32270507 Inhabitants live in Canada, so Canada is one of the bad settled countries in the world.
Canada lies in the northern North America. It is bounded to the south and the northwest by the United States. To the east lays the Atlantic Ocean and to the west the Pacific Ocean.
Canada has a lot of wood industry and uranium deposit. The environment is very great there but the wood industry steals the living space from the animals. The air pollution there is very bad because of the industries.
Canada is a confederation with ten provinces and three territories managed by the government.
Canada is a representative parliamentary democracy with a symbolic constitutional monarchy within the British Commonwealth of Nations.
The symbolic head of state is the British queen Elizabeth II, she will represent through a governor-general. The prime minister is the broadminded Paul Martin.
