that is partly covered by the Pacific Ocean. The St Elias Mountains in the Yukon include Canada's highest peak, Mount Logan. It towers 5,951 metres above sea level. Because the Coast Mountains are on the seashore, the coast of British Columbia has many long, narrow inlets called fiords. The fiords provide a water route to Canada's most valuable forests. These forests consist of red cedars, hemlocks, and other evergreen trees that grow on the lower mountain slopes. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are Canada's Prairie Provinces. They are known for their rolling plains and extreme climate with long, cold winters and hot, dry summers. Much of the area is covered with farms producing large quantities of wheat and other grains. The region is also rich in oil and natural gas. Northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are covered by the Great Canadian Shield a rocky landscape with lakes, rivers and forests. The Canadian Shield is a vast horseshoe-shaped region.
country, with both English and French as official languages. Geography: Covering most of the northern part of the North American continent and with an area larger than that of the United States, Canada has an extremely varied topography. In the east, the mountainous maritime provinces have an irregular coastline on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic. The St. Lawrence plain, covering most of southern Quebec and Ontario, and the interior continental plain, covering southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan and most of Alberta, are the principal cultivable areas. They are separated by a forested plateau rising from Lakes Superior and Huron. Westward toward the Pacific, most of British Columbia, the Yukon, and part of western Alberta are covered by parallel mountain ranges, including the Rockies. The Pacific border of the coast range is ragged with fjords and channels. The highest point in Canada is Mount Logan (6,050 m), which is in the Yukon. The two principal river
culturally. Since the 1960s there has been a strong movement to became an independent country (separatist movement). 80 % of Canada's French speaking people lives in Quebec. Canada has ten provinces and two territories (the capital of each is shown in parentheses): Alberta (Edmonton), British Columbia (Victoria), Prince Edwars Island (Charlottetown), Manitoba (Winnipeg), New Brunswick (Fredericton), Nova Scotia (Halifax), Nunavut (Iqaluit), Ontario (Toronto), Quebec (Quebec City), Saskatchewan (Regina), Newfoundland and Labrador (St. John's), Northwest Territories (Yellowknife) and Yukon Territory (Whitehorse). Geographically, Canada can be divided into five major regions: the Pacific Region, the Prairie Provinces, Central Canada, the Atlantic Provinces and the North. The Pacific Region includes Canada's westernmost province, British Columbia. The region is known for it's mild coastal climate, its forests and its spectacular mountains, including the famous Rockies.
05 billion, copper US$1.47 billion, nickel US$1.45 billion, and zinc US$1.25 billion. There was also significant production of lead and iron. There are about 50 major gold mines in Canada and the country leads the world in technologies which extract gold from rock and soil. The nation is the world's largest producer of zinc and the fifth largest producer of lead. Among the provinces, Ontario is the top producer of non-fuel mineral resources, followed by Quebec, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland. Each year Canadian companies spend over US$600 million to find or develop new mines and fuel supplies. However, environmental concerns and increased regulation have led many Canadian mining companies to shift exploration elsewhere. Latin America is becoming a favorite choice for Canadian mining companies. While overall mineral production is dispersed throughout Canada, fuel production is concentrated in the west, with a few major exceptions
Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area, and shares land borders with the United States to the south and northwest. Canada is a federation composed of ten provinces and three territories; in turn, these may be grouped into regions. Western Canada consists of British Columbia and the three Prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). Central Canada consists of Quebec and Ontario. Atlantic Canada consists of the three Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia), along with Newfoundland and Labrador. Eastern Canada refers to Central Canada and Atlantic Canada together. Three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) make up Northern Canada. Provinces have a large degree of autonomy from the federal government, territories somewhat less
The Yukon and Columbia rivers, which both rise in Canada, also flow to the Pacific, but they do so through the United States. Five of Canada's rivers -- the St. Lawrence, Mackenzie, Yukon, Fraser, and Nelson -- rank among the world's 40 longest. 5. The territories and provinces Canada is composed of ten provinces and three territories. The provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The three territories are the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. The provinces have a large degree of autonomy from the federal government, the territories somewhat less. Each has its own provincial or territorial symbols. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that a province receives relatively greater power and authority. The youngest of the territories and provinces is Nunavut, created from the east portion of The Northwest territories. 6
The term "Canadian Confederation" refers to this 1867 unification of the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec (formerly Canada East or Lower Canada), and Ontario (formerly Canada West or Upper Canada). The remaining British colonies and territories soon joined Confederation. By 1880 Canada included all of its present area except for Newfoundland and Labrador, which joined in 1949. (It should be noted that, although part of Canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan did not gain Provincial status until 1905.) In 1919, Canada became a member of the League of Nations and, in the Imperial Conference of 1926, Canada assumed full control of its own through the Balfour Declaration. In 1927, Canada appointed its first ambassador to a foreign country, the United States. In 1931, the Statute of Westminster gave the Balfour Declaration constitutional force, confirming that no act of the UK's parliament would thereafter extend to Canada without its consent
There are also people of German, Italian, and descent. Eskimos and American Indians together make up about 2% of the population. Over three-quarters of Canada's people live in cities or towns. Provinces/territories Canada is divided into provinces and territories. There are 10 provinces and 3 territories. The provinces are Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia. Quebec Quebec differs greatly from the rest of Canada because of its French language and culture. About 80% of Quebec's people are of French descent. The official language is French. Quebec is the largest province in area and the second largest in population. Ontario Ontario has a larger population than any other province. About a third of Canada's people live there. About half of Ontario's people are of British or Irish descent. Ontario produces
Prairie dogs are 30 centimetres long. They eat insects and grass. Land. Canada is divided into five major regions geographically: the Pacific Region, the Prairie Provinces, Central Canada, the Atlantic Provinces and the North. The Pacific Region includes British Columbia. The region is known for its mild coastal climate, its forests and its spectacular mountains, including the famous Rocky Mountains. Vancouver and Victoria are the largest cities in this area. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are Canada's Prairie Provinces. They are known for their rolling plains and extreme climate with long, cold winters and hot, dry summers. Much of the area is covered with farms producing large quantities of wheat and other grains. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are covered by the great Canadian Shield-a rocky landscape with lakes, rivers and forests that stretches over almost half of Canada. Central Canada includes Ontario and Quebec. It really isn't in the center of
Territory and landscape Canada is one of the largest countries in the world. It covers nearly 4 million square miles. It is dividend into ten provinces( British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland ) along with two territories( the Yukon, the Northwest territories ). The capital city is Ottawa. Canada is a country rich in forests. It borders in the south with The United States and it's surrounded in the west by the Pacific Ocean, in the east by the Atlantic Ocean and above by many smaller bays, but is also borderedd with Alaska in the north-west. To the north of Canada is the broad Canadian Shield, an area of rock scoured clean by the last ice age, thinly
the famous Rockies which are also the youngest and highest mountains in Canada. British Columbia is in the landform region called the Western Cordillera (system of mountain ranges). Between the mountain ranges are areas of high plateaus and deep trenches. Since the landscape is very rugged, most people live in the south and near the coast. Vancouver and Victoria are the largest cities in British Columbia. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are Canada's Prairie Provinces. They are known for their rolling plains and extreme climate with long, cold winters and hot, dry summers. Much of the area is covered with farms producing large quantities of wheat and other grains. The region is also rich in oil and natural gas. The Prairie Provinces are not only characterized by their rolling plains but also the great Canadian Shield a rocky landscape with lakes, rivers and forests
Columbia. It became a province in 1871. Its capital is Victoria and the biggest city is Vancouver. Name of British Columbia was chosen by Queen Elizabeth. The main industries are forestry, tourism (Vancouver Island, Stanley Park, skiing, golfing, hiking), mining (metal and coal mines) and fishing. The Prairie Provinces, that are located in the middle and south of Canada, consist of three provinces: Manitoba (capital Winnipeg), Alberta (capital Edmonton) and Saskatchewan (capital Regina). Agriculture is very important in that region. There are many farms where they grow wheat, barley and oats. The most important landmarks of the region are the Canadian Shield, Lake Winnipeg and the Rocky Mountains, but it mostly consists of plains. Central Canada consists of Quebec (capital Quebec City) and Ontario (capital Toronto). It's not situated in the middle of Canada, more to the east, but it's the main centre of industry and economy

Regions in Canada Canada is divided into five major regions. The Pacific Region The Pacific Region consists of only one province - British Columbia. It is known for its mild coastal climate, forests and the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains are the youngest and the highest mountains in Canada. Largest cities are Vancouver and Victoria. Only 5% of The Pacific Region is inhabitable. The Prairie Provinces The Prairie Provinces consists of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba provinces. Population in that region is about 5.7 million people. The precipitation in The Prairie Provinces is very low only 400 mm per year. The biggest cities are Calgary, Winnipeg and Saskatoon. The Prairie Provinces focus on farming. 95% of the land in that region has been converted into farmland. Mostly wheat and other grains are produced. Cattle and sheep ranching is also part of the agriculture. The
In the west there is maritime climate and so they fish and ship there. Toronto is the biggest city in Canada, with a population of 5,1 million people. It is followed by Montreal with 3,9, Vancouver, Ottawa (which is the capital of Canada) 800 000 and Quebec with 700 000. Government Canada is a federation of ten provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) and three territories (Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut). Formally considered a constitutional monarchy, Canada is governed by its own House of Commons. While the governor-general is officially the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, in reality the governor-general acts only on the advice of the Canadian prime minister. Canada is an independent, self-governing nation. However, Canadians recognize Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain as Queen of Canada
Geographical features Alberta covers an area of 661,848 square kilometres, an area about 5% smaller than Texas or 20% larger than France. This makes it the fourth largest province after Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. To the south, the province borders on the 49th parallel north, separating it from the U.S. state of Montana, while on the north the 60th parallel north divides it from the Northwest Territories. To the east the 110th meridian west separates it from the province of Saskatchewan, while on the west its boundary with British Columbia follows the 120th meridian west south from the Northwest Territories at 60°N until it reaches the Continental Divide at the Rocky Mountains. The province extends 1,223 kilometres north to south and 660 kilometres east to west at its maximum width. Its highest point is 3,747 metres at the summit of Mount Columbia in the Rocky Mountains along the southwest border, while its lowest point is 152 metres on the Slave

Canada and covers more of the country than any other type of vegetation. The Maritimes are home to the Acadian forests which are made up from spruce, for, birch, pine and maple trees. West of the Maritimes in Quebec and Ontario are the Laurentian Forests and Mountains leading into the Canadian Shield in the north and the Great Lakes in the south and west of Ontario. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta make up Canada's prairie grasslands which contain mixed grasses but are mainly covered by farmed grains. Alberta and the east of British Columbia contain Canada's Rocky Mountains which stretch up into the Yukon Territory from the United States. Spruce, fir and larch trees can be found amongst the rocky and often snow covered terrain. British Columbia's Pacific Coast contains mountains

müütilised proportsioonid. Talle tekkis uus nimi Haskelli kelm/lurjus. Järgneva aastakümne jooksul tuli sarnaste eluskarjade rünnakute kohta üksikuid raporteid. 1967 a. oli kõige silmatorkavam üks nendest harvadest raportitest, kus hobune nimega Snippy suri vigastustesse Lõuna-Colorados, kus samal ajal nähti mitmeid UFO-sid ja tundmatuid helikoptereid. 1978 a. rünnakute arv suurenes ja aastaks 1979 toimusid mitmed eluskarjade vigastamised Kanadas peamiselt Alberta-s ja Saskatchewan-is. Rünnakud USA-s ühtlustusid/rahunesid mõneks ajaks, kuid 1980 aastal tegevus jälle suurenes. Sellest aastast on vigastamise raporteid vähemaks/harvemaks jäänud, kuid see võib olla tänu suurenenud vastumeelsusele raporteerida vigastamistest rantsopidajate ja farmerite poolt. Vigastamine jätkub ka tänapäeval ja üle 10 000 looma on surnud ainult USA-s. Kuigi vigastamisi toimub üle maailma, siis asjaolud, mis puudutavad vigastamisi, on alati samad.
