More about Canada
Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Commonwealth with the capital Ottawa. According to its constitution, the North American country is a federal state with the British Queen as the nominal head of state. With almost ten million km² Canada is the second largest country in the world. Almost half of its territory is accounted for by the Canadian Shield, which dissolves into glaciated islands on the Arctic Ocean. The Interior Plains rise west to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast Mountains. The climate is predominantly continental with long, cold winters and warm summers; only in the southwest there is a moderate climate. Canada is an immigration country with a multicultural population structure. All ethnic groups are guaranteed the right to cultural independence. The official languages are English and French. The aspirations for autonomy of the French Canadians in Quebec remained a domestic political problem, as did the conflicts of interest with the indigenous population. In 1534/35 the navigator J. Cartier took it France owned the area on both sides of the Saint Lawrence River, which it had to cede to Great Britain in 1763. Canada, henceforth a British colony, was declared the “Dominion of Canada” in 1867 and not an independent state until 1931. The wealth of raw materials and the diversified modern industry have established a high standard of living. The economy is strongly export-oriented due to the limited domestic market. Canada maintains close ties to the only neighboring country, the USA, but as a member of important international organizations such as the OECD and the G7 (world economic summit) it is one of the “global players”.

Climate
The determining factors for the climate are 1) the northern location; large parts of Canada belong to arctic and sub-arctic regions, only the south is temperate; 2) the vast land mass creates a continental climate with high temperature contrasts, apart from narrow coastal areas; 3) the cordilleras form a barrier for the wet west winds, so that the leeward side is relatively dry, only in the east does the precipitation rise again; furthermore, arctic air masses can penetrate far to the south through the north-south course of the mountains. – The mean January temperatures in most of the country are below −20 ° C, only in the south do they rise above −10 ° C (Toronto −4.2 ° C, Montreal −9.9 ° C). Due to the maritime influence, the Pacific coastal region has mild temperatures and, at the same time, heavy rainfall (sometimes more than 6,000 mm per year). In the interior, the temperatures are more extreme (Winnipeg average temperature in January −17.8 ° C, in July +19.5 ° C), the amount of precipitation is below 500 mm with large annual fluctuations, towards the east coast it increases to 1,500 mm. Cold and humid winters require long snow cover and freezing of the waters, the St. Lawrence River is frozen over for about four months.
