Extractions: In recent years, we have all been continually reminded about "globalization" the tendency for our lives to be affected by events outside our national boundaries. It is becoming harder to differentiate between "foreign" and "national" issues. More and more, they are blurred. Jobs for Canadians of all ages depend on our ability to penetrate global markets as well as to face successfully competitive challenges from abroad. Canadians in the past tended to focus on Europe; more recently, we turned our attention to the Asia Pacific as a major locus of global economic growth. Today we are also turning our attention elsewhere. As Secretary of State for Latin America and Africa, I am excited to be dealing with two regions of the globe that are assuming a much greater profile in Canada's international relations. In Latin America, we are solidifying our trading relationship with Mexico under NAFTA. A new bilateral trade agreement is in place with Chile. We await further developments with other countries of Latin America and the Caribbean that should lead up to the Free Trade Area of the Americas after the year 2005. More and more Canadians from business, organizations, and government are travelling to Latin America to meet our neighbours ones who have for too long been viewed as distant strangers. They are finding that along with the new business relationships comes a shared sense of community a set of concerns, responsibilities, and interests that go beyond the mere exchange of goods and services.

Extractions: 1. The Pacific Coast Bathed by warm, moist Pacific air currents, the British Columbia coast, indented by deep fiords and shielded from Pacific storms by Vancouver Island, has the most moderate climate of Canada's regions. Vancouver Island's west coast receives an exceptional amount of rain, giving it a temperate rain forest climate. Although it does not contain the diversity of species of a tropical rain forest, the island's west coast does have the oldest and tallest trees in Canada: Western Red Cedars 1300 years old and Douglas firs 90 m high. 3. The Prairies To drive across the Prairies is to see endless fields of wheat ripening under a sky that seems to go on forever. The plains of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are among the richest grain-producing regions in the world. Yet, even here are surprises. If you leave the road at Brooks, Alberta, and drive north, you descend into the Red Deer River Valley. Here, in desert-like conditions, water and wind have created strange shapes in the sandstone called "hoodoos." The same forces of erosion have uncovered some of the largest concentrations of dinosaur fossils in the world. 4. The Canadian Shield A huge inland sea called Hudson Bay extends into the heart of Canada, and wrapped around this bay is a rocky region called the Canadian Shield. Canada's largest geographical feature, it stretches east to Labrador, south to Kingston on Lake Ontario and northwest as far as the Arctic Ocean. The Shield is considered to be the nucleus of the North American continent. Its gneiss and granite rocks are 3.5 billion years old, three-quarters the age of the Earth. Scraped by the advance and retreat of glaciers, the Shield has only a thin layer of soil that supports a boreal forest of spruce, fir, tamarack and pine. The region is a storehouse of minerals, including gold, silver, zinc, copper and uranium.

Extractions: Français Contact Us Help Search ... Visa and Immigration Canada is a vast nation stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and spanning a quarter of the world's time zones. Second in size only to the former Soviet Union, Canada's landscape is constantly changing with every variety of climatic regions represented except for tropical jungles and extensive deserts. Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada has a land mass of 9,970,610 square kilometres. To the south, Canada shares an 8,892 kilometre boundary with the United States. To the north, the Arctic islands come within 800 kilometres of the North Pole. Canada's neighbour across the Arctic Ocean is Russia. The geography of Canada can be divided into seven distinct regions, each with a very different landscape and climate. To the west is the Pacific Coast with a coastline indented by deep fiords. It is bathed by warm, moist pacific air currents making it the most moderate climate of Canada's regions. Cities in this region enjoy comfortable and relatively dry summers and mild, wet winters. From British Columbia to just east of the Alberta border, the Cordillera is a region with rugged mountains, high plateaus and deep valleys. The area receives heavy amounts of precipitation (rain at lower altitudes and snow at higher ones). The valleys between the mountains receive much less precipitation and experience warm summers.
Butterflies Of Canada: Canadian Geography And Butterfly Distribution Canadian geography and Butterfly Distribution. that cross the southern half of Canadaand two Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, alberta, and British http://www.cbif.gc.ca/spp_pages/butterflies/geography_e.php
Extractions: Butterflies Canada, with a land area of 9,922,335 square kilometres (almost 4 million square miles), is the second largest country in the world in area. It extends more than 5000 kilometres east to west from St. John's in Newfoundland to Victoria on Vancouver Island, and more than 4600 kilometres from the top of Ellesmere Island in the Arctic to Point Pelee in southern Ontario to the south. Most of this vast area, however, is sparsely populated, with the majority of Canada's 30 million inhabitants living in a narrow zone along Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River Valley, an area that occupies less than 1 per cent of the land area. Politically, Canada was until recently divided into ten provinces that cross the southern half of Canada and two territories in the north. From east to west, the provinces are Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and the two territories were Northwest Territories and Yukon. On April 1, 1999, the eastern half of the mainland of the Northwest Territory, and most of the Arctic Islands, was made into the new territory of Nunavut. Two life zones dominate Canada's landscape. The boreal forest, or Taiga Zone, that stretches from Newfoundland, the northern edge of the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain foothills northward to treeline, occupies fully 50 per cent of Canada's land mass or five million square kilometres; the Tundra Zone that stretches across northern Canada north of treeline, occupies another 25 per cent or 2.5 million square kilometres. These two life zones are the most sparsely populated parts of Canada, and have few roads to provide access for survey work on butterflies; the spotty distribution of butterflies on the maps for these areas reflects this paucity of available data.
