Canada Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. It is located in the northern part of the American continent and extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Consisting of ten provinces and three territories, each very different and all very diverse, it is the world's second-largest country by total area. This vastness is reflected in its culture which is influenced from a broad range of nationalities and ethnicities making for a fascinating multiculturalism. In Quebec, for example a French cultural identity is strong and distinct from that of English Canada. Canada is more of a mosaic of regional, aboriginal, and ethnic subcultures.
