I'd just like to say happy Canada Day for all you Canadians out there.
Canada is the world's second-largest country by area, occupying most of northern North America. Canada was founded as a union of British colonies, which had earlier been French colonies. Canada peacefully obtained independence from the United Kingdom in a process spanning from 1867 to 1982.
The name Canada is believed to come from the Huron-Iroquois word kanata, which means "village" or "settlement".
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.
