Canada is the most northern country on the North American continent and has a land mass of 3.855 million square miles. Canada extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the United States in the south, north to the Arctic Ocean. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border.
The British and French established colonies in the 15th century. In the 17th-century, control of the North American fur trade led to war. The Seven Years' War (La guerre de la Conquête) soon followed and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The Act of Union 1840 finally merged British and French interests.
Canada has a lot to offer the tourist. Montreal and Quebec display the French flavor of the country, Halifax represents the Maritime Provinces and Vancouver opens to the coastline of the Pacific Northwest. Ontario has Niagra Falls, Calgary the Stampede (rodeo) and Alberta the National Parks. Fantastique!
