Canada Section 1

A Northern Land Between the U.S. and Canada is the longest undefended border in the world. *the border is patrolled by lawenforcement, but not military personnel.

A Northern Land • Canada borders 3 oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic. • 2nd largest country behind Russia • It is made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Provinces vs. Territories • Provinces are similar to states • The provinces are responsible for things like schools, hospitals, local government and keeping highways in order. • Territories are largely governed by native people, unless there are issues that involve other nations.

The Effect of Glaciers • As the glaciers moved and pushed the land down, they created a large, low basin and many low areas. • Water filled the lowest points, and now Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world!
