Ottawa as its capital, government: Federal, multi-party constitutional monarchy, and multi-ethnic groups: British 34%, French 26%, German 4%, Italian 3%, Ukrainian 2%, and also some Native population.

Stretching across 6 times zones, it's home to vast mountain ranges, over two million lakes and dozens of important rivers. Canada has 39 national parks, over 1,000 provincial parks and nearly 50 territorial parks. From its vast wilderness areas and frontier towns, to the Great Lakes and the modern cities of the south, Canada presents one of the most unique destinations on the planet. It's a proud, independent land that still maintains the flavor and style of its long associations with the cultures of England and France.
