Canada Blends Cultures And Values

Canada is the second largest country in the world as far as land mass is concerned and shares the longest land border with any other country, in this case the United States. Canada is known for being a peaceful, multicultural country with a strong economy.

There are dozens of different aboriginal tribes that call the land now referred to as Canada “home”. Due to that fact there are considerable amounts of cultural influence spreading throughout the country. In addition, Canada is officially a multilingual country with both English and French being classified as national languages. Quebec is the province where French is most commonly spoken, although it is also spoken in many other parts of the country. This multicultural and multilingual history has no doubt had a strong impact on the modern approach Canada has taken on being a multicultural nation that shows respect for the beliefs and customs of many different ethnic and religious groups. This has bolstered immigration into Canada and now the country has one of the highest per-capita immigration rates in the entire world.

Canada also has a strong economy that is bolstered by its possession of massive amounts of natural resources including fresh water, oil, and lumber. It is one of very few countries that is a net energy exporter, making it important on the national level. The fact that this nation has nearly always exemplified a peaceful approach to politics and foreign relations has helped it in free trade agreements with other countries throughout the Americas and Europe.
