Description Canada by rbd.me A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services, as well as responding to the particular concerns of predominantly francophone Quebec. Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment.   WebCam Location Northern North America, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean on the east, North Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Arctic Ocean on the north, north of the conterminous US   Area - comparative slightly larger than the US   Natural resources Canada iron ore, nickel, zinc, copper, gold, lead, molybdenum, potash, diamonds, silver, fish, timber, wildlife, coal, petroleum, natural gas, hydropower   Population Canada 33,759,742 (July 2010 est.)   Religions Canada Roman Catholic 42.6%, Protestant 23.3% (including United Church 9.5%, Anglican 6.8%, Baptist 2.4%, Lutheran 2%), other Christian 4.4%, Muslim 1.9%, other and unspecified 11.8%, none 16% (2001 census)   Languages English (official) 58.8%, French (official) 21.6%, other 19.6% (2006 Census)   Education Canada expenditures 5.2% of GDP (2002)   Government Canada type a parliamentary democracy, a federation, and a constitutional monarchy   Independence 1 July 1867 (union of British North American colonies); 11 December 1931 (recognized by UK)   Canada Economy - overview $1.285 trillion (2009 est.)   Investment Canada 72.3% of GDP (2009 est.)   Industries Canada transportation equipment, chemicals, processed and unprocessed minerals, food products, wood and paper products, fish products, petroleum and natural gas   Airports Canada 7.193 million (2009)
