| Canada used to have 12 provinces and territoires, now it has 13. The capital is Ottawa. The biggest city is Toronto. The second and third biggest cities are between Montreal and Vancouver. New Brunswick is the only bilingual province. The capital of Ontario is Toronto. Three provinces cover Canada's prairies, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. On the right is the CN Tower. |
| Canada is a bilingual country, it's two languages being English and French. I'm sure you know which province is the French speaking province. Canada's French originates from the French that was spoken in France during the medieval times, with a mix of Americanised French, and once you're used to it, it's a much more casual way of speaking French. Contrary to what many Europeans say, it is a comprehensible language, and its written form is much easier to understand than that of France's. |
| To the left is downtown Toronto, and the business district. The population of the city is something like 2.5 million. This is the city where most of the jobs are, and many French Canadians come to work here because the economy is better than in Quebec, which is getting more and depressed with its "separatiste" politics. Despite French Canadians feeling hostile towards English Canada, Toronto's jobs are still good enough for them. Speaking French is a tremendous advantage in Toronto for finding a job. |
| The west side of Canada is amazing for its nature and mountains. On the right is Glacier National Park, in British Columbia, of which Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the capital. |

| CANADA'S 13 PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES: Prince Edward Island (Charlottetown) Nova Scotia (Halifax) Newfoundland (St John's) New Brunswick (Fredrichton) Quebec (Quebec City) Ontario (Toronto) Manitoba (Winnipeg) Saskatchewan (Regina) Alberta (Edmonton) British Columbia [referred to as BC] (Victoria) Northwest Territories (Yellowknife) Yukon (Whitehorse) Nunavut (Iqualuit) |
| The cities in brackets are the capital of each province and territory. I used to be able to remember the capital cities of every province and territory off the top of my head, but now I've forgotten some of them. The Maritime provinces were always tricky for me to remember the capital cities. |

| Canadians like their coffee just as much as the Americans do. On the left is the logo of their coffee chain, Second Cup, which has even better coffee than the American chain Starbucks. |

| This is a typical picture of downtown Toronto that you'll see in brochures and general tourist information. With the right effects in Microsoft Photo Editor you can make the colour of the sky look perfect. |
