Canada. Its geography and climate.

Canada covers all of the North American continent to the north of the USA
except Alaska and the small French Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. It is the
second largest country in the world after Russia. But the population of Canada is
not very big – only 27,4 million people who live mostly in the south of Canada,
along the border of the USA. Canada is bordered by three oceans, the Atlantic, the
Arctic, and the Pacific. The capital of the country is Ottawa.

Canada is a nation in North America composed of two linguistic and


cultural groups: French and English. To these major groups, and to the small native
population of Indians and Eskimos, have been added many thousands immigrants
representing the major European cultures. The two official languages of Canada
are English and French. In the north of the country there are 330,000 Indians and
25,000 Eskimos who are the original peoples of the North , Central and South
America. They have no equal rights with other citizens of the country and they
have fought for their rights for many years.

The interior of the country is a vast plain. The plain extends from the
Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Mountains. In the north the plain ends in the
islands of the Arctic Ocean. In the south Canada shares the Great Lakes with the
United States. The most admirable sight which attracts tourists from all over the
world is the Niagara Falls. They are on the Niagara River between the Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario.

All parts of the country have cold weather in winter. Winter in Canada
lasts from four to five month with heavy snowfalls. Summer is usually warm,
though quite short.
