Interesting Facts About Canada

Interesting Facts About Canada -

Since I am in Canada this week, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at America's northern neighbor. It's a bit of sibling rivalry between the two countries. Canadians love how unlike America they are, and Americans love to show how much Canada is like us and teasing, as it really speak our 51st state. But really, we love each other. Countries share a large border, many do economic trade, and share a lot of cultural films, music, theater and sports. We are connected, even if we often do so, we try not. I often joke to my Canadian friends about how they are "Little America", but I really love Canada. It is a beautiful, beautiful and fun country. Here are some interesting facts about the must-see, but rarely visited country:
