Much of Canada is uninhabited. About 1/3 is barren arctic land. In that treeless area, temperature stay below freezing most of the year. Usually permafrost is present, which prevents you from growing crops. In NWT and Nunavut, there are no permanent roads. This makes it hard to transport food and sublimates necessary for survival.
Environment has a vital significance on Canada’s population distribution. People tend to live in areas where it is rich in soil and there is easy access to it. People live less in areas that have frozen land because you couldn’t grow crops on frozen land. Moreover, we would have to import food from other countries which make products more expensive. This is a factor that has an effect on population distribution because people wouldn’t want to move to frozen land such as northern Canada, since crops have to be imported.
Canada has an extremley large geography which plays a tremendous role on many factors that affect Canadians. These factors both help and hinder Canada economically, socially and politically. The geography of Canada has also caused regions to form. For the most part, these regions exist due to physical that are present in Canada's landscape. Canada's geography has also had a large impact on the influences that affect settlers. Canada's relatively low popuation in comparison to the large land mass make Canada a place where people who desire to settle in high population, urban areas or large, isolated, and low-trafficked areas. The high population of people near the Canadian-American border is also a unique feature of Canada, due to the
There are many ways to define Northern Ontario, however, I believe the most accurate geological definition of Northern Ontario was defined by the Ontario Census Division. Northern Ontario encompasses over a large percentage of provincial landmass, stretching from Parry Sound, north to the shores of Hudson Bay, west to the border of Manitoba and east to the border of Quebec (Map Two). Most of Northern Ontario is situated on the Canadian Shield which is characterized by a vast rocky plateau and lakes. In the video “Nine Rivers”, four men on a canoeing trip heading north to Hudson’s Bay, captured the beauty of Northern Ontario. They described the waterways that ranged from small creeks to massive bodies of moving water as an era of great
But the most common one is flooding. Most of the worst floods in Canada happen in the Prairies. For example the southern Alberta flood started on June 19 2013 with heavy rainfall and ended June 28 2013. There were 100,000 people evacuated from their homes and 4 people died from this tragic natural disaster. The flooding was the most expensive natural disaster ever in Canada. Insurance had to pay 1.7 billion dollars and an estimated 2.2 billion in cost. 5 ways to prepare for this natural disaster are to put weather protection sealant around basement windows and the base of around-level doors, install the drainage for downspouts a sufficient distance from your residence to ensure that water moves away from the building, consider installing a sump pump and zero reverse flow valves in the basement floor drains, do not store your important documents in the basement and make sure you have food and water because you don’t know how long a flood could go
When it comes to certain qualities and attributes of the United States of America and Canada, many people residing elsewhere fail to tell the difference. The accents of people from certain parts of both countries, for instance, are so incredibly indistinguishable that they baffle any and everyone. Besides this one factor, they even share some comparable cultural characteristics, such as driving on the right side of the road and cherishing the same basic human rights to the utmost importance. Likewise, there are several similarities between multiple aspects of the countries’ respective governments, including within their individual established frameworks, political systems, and their divisions of authorities and duties. These could potentially point out a reason as to why Canada and the United States are immensely successful in their particular objectives, and are on their paths to achieving their long-term goals with difficult to accomplish, yet beneficial visions. After all, they are both either on the way to becoming or currently are two of world’s leading superpowers (Financial Post). However, there is not just one particular infallible way to rule a country and push it to further advancement simultaneously. In fact, each country works and functions differently, which is primarily due to individual background and history. Ultimately, although Canada and the United States of America are both nations that share similarities in various parts of their Constitutions, political
Extending from the Atlantic in the east, to the Pacific in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. This prosperity is represented by the voice that every citizen possesses thanks to the forefathers of Canada and the guaranteed rights and opportunities that the people of Canada rely on. As a nation, the pride, opportunity and freedom is not all Canada has to offer. Further, the natural beauty of Canada’s vast and beautiful lands come from various environments such as the Rocky Mountains, the tundra in the Arctic, and the farmland in the prairie's. In the great white North, having access to a universal healthcare system, celebrating cultural diversity of the people and the
Canada is a very large country, with areas of land in various climate regions, and land regions, thus having many ecozones that differentiate from another. The most populated ecozone in Canada is the Mixedwood Plains; the ecozone we are located in, named after the mixedwood forests that are native to the area. The Mixedwood Plains is one of the smallest of the Canadian ecozones, spanning only 175 963 kilometres squared. The Mixedwood Plains is bordered by three of the great lakes on the southern side of the ecozone, and comes up along the St Lawrence river to southern Quebec, and fills the tip of Ontario. It has rolling plains and small rock formations and escarpments. The Mixedwood Plains contains over half of the Canadian population as
Prairies provinces have common factors; Landscape, agriculture, climate, that represent in similarities compared to the rest of Canada. Landscape defines the Prairie Provinces as a formal region. With the enormous size of flatland, the immense quantities and high qualities of grains can be produced. This result in majority of land being used for agricultural purposes. In addition, the Prairie Provinces have significant harsh cold winters and mild dry summers compared to other provinces. The key differences are the ecosystem and the natural resources the region provide. Each province unique ecosystem allows different kinds of harvest and animal breed. Moreover, these key differences created different industry and job opportunities.
April 1st, 1999 a new territory was created when new boundaries were drawn in Canada’s northern territory, the Northwest Territories. The Inuik people that lived in the Northwest Territories were the reason behind the motivation for the separation. After a long hard process, filled with agreements and disagreements, Nunavut was finally declared its own territory and was separated from the Northwest Territories.
Canada is similar to the United States was established as a colonial settler state by European colonial powers. France and England fought over the land for many years and in 1759 the British finally won in the battle of the Plains of Abraham (Quebec City).
Vancouver has a really big deforestation problem because they need more room and wood to make house for the people that live there. It's not just homes people need furniture and many products made from wood and because of the population increased people have to cut down a lot of forest. With in/around the last 50 years or so the Vancouvers deforestation has been catastrophic. Most of Vancouver Island has been converted from vibrant forests to young tree farms that do not sustain the natural range of species. Lack of lichen growing on old boreal trees is one of the reasons that almost all of Canada's woodland caribou herds are currently predicted to die out before the next century. Because of deforestation the climate in vancouver has change
It is hard to imagine living in the frigid, inhospitable climate of Alaska, Northern Canada, and Greenland. Unforgiving winters, barren tundras, freezing temperatures, and days without sunlight were all challenges faced by the Eskimos (Inuit).
More areas of Canada are Highland, icy and forest. While you can feel any climate in United States, South and south west have warmer weather and north have cold weather. Because of climate variability, United States population is much higher than in the
Professor Norman Pressman - “we live in a weatherless society. We are conditioned to live in doors.” he basically stated that technology enabled us to cut ourselves off from winter.during his interview he seemed certain that canadians are all the same in which way we shut ourselves out of the environment during the winter and stay in doors a lot.
Have you ever been to Canada and just felt strange? Of course, you have. However, it's not just the weird people or cheese curds causing that sensation. NASA and others have devised a theory that some places on Earth actually lack gravity and Canada is one of them. Don't worry, though, it's not as cool as you might think.
