We consider ourselves fortunate to be based in Canada. It’s an admirable country, where people can be who they want to be. Recognized as one of the most amenable, free-minded, kind and welcoming countries, Canada is a fountain of cold water in a world that is – at least for now – smoldering. Some facts. Geography & Size: Canada is the second-largest country in the world by total area (about 9.98 million km²), behind only Russia. It spans six time zones and boasts the longest coastline of any country in the world. Provinces & Territories: The country is divided into 10 provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) and 3 territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon). Capital & Major Cities: The national capital is Ottawa (located in Ontario), while Toronto is the country’s largest city. Other major urban centers include Montreal,
Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. [1, 2, 3] Population: As of 2026, the population is approximately 42 million people, with roughly 90% of residents living within 160 km (100 miles) of the southern border with the United States. [1, 2] Government: Canada is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy under King Charles III, represented nationally by a prime minister. Languages & Culture: It is officially bilingual (English and French), with French acting as the primary language for most residents in Quebec. Nature & Water: Canada holds more lakes than the rest of the world combined and accounts for
roughly 20% of the Earth’s fresh water. It is also responsible for a vast majority of the world’s maple syrup production (around 70% to 85%, mostly from Quebec). National Symbols & Sports: The beaver is the national animal, the maple leaf is the prominent national symbol, and ice hockey is the official national winter sport.
