Hey friends,

Today is a day when a great country celebrates its independence, its existance and its survival. So lets get together and join the celebrations with Canada on...

 Canada is the second largest country in the world and occupies most of Northern North America. Canada is a constitutional monarchy with deep roots and relations with its Allies. It has a long history of tolerance, peace and friendliness

Lets start the celebrations with the singing of the national anthem of the wondeful country.

  




 Canada has been accepting immigrants with open arms since many years. According to the federal government, Canada has the highest per capita immigration rate in the world, driven by economic, family reunification, and humanitarian reasons. Canada experiences extreme cold weather in Winter especially the non-coastal regions and northern regions.

Recent survey by BBC placed Canada #3 in the best countries to live in. With excellent education and opportunities, great health-care and democracy, Canada offers all the rights and privileges to its citizens.

 

Here are some interesting facts about Canada!

    The name Canada was first used by Jacques Cartier in 1535
    Canada has the ninth biggest economy of the world and is a developed country.  
    With only three people per square kilometer, Canada has the fourth lowest population density in the world.
    Canada is a developed country who had a chance to get nuclear bombs for its defence and it refused saying that it wanted to be a peaceful nation and not indulge into nuclear warfare.
  • The Maple Leaf was used in 1834 to represent the land and people of Canada.

Multi-Cultural

I used to go to Wonderland aroung 10 at night & watch the fireworks there, or we'd go to Niagra Falls, or we'd go to Ontario Place/CNE & spend the day on rides, then go shopping then watch a movie at the cineplex around 8 & when the movie's about over, the fireworks start..tons of fun!

Some?..I like everything!
 
 For people who live in Canada: Were you born here?  If not, when did you come to Canada? and can you tell us one of the first memories you had when you first came to Canada?
Well, I was born there & then moved to the US
