Furthermore, some of the most famous people in the world are Canadian, and Canada has also played a key role in many international stories over the years. It’s safe to say this country is amazing, so let's find out what we should all know about this country.

Anything we missed that should be mentioned about Canada, eh?😇

2:10 “The unfortunately named Great Slave Lake”. The name is not in reference to slaves, but the Slavey people, an indigenous tribe native to the area, just for clarification.

I am from Moose Factory ON Canada, the first English speaking settlement in present day Ontario Canada. I am Cree Native and love this island and you all.

I’m a retired engineer. Canada has also produced some cool technologies. A company in Montreal built the legs for the LEMs used in Apollo. The world’s first omnidirectional sonar was developed by a company called C-Tech in early 70s. The world’s first thinned array sonar was developed by a company called Scanner Engineering also in the 70s. The world’s first digital fire control computer was developed by Computing Devices and deployed into the American military (1970s/80s). There are a lot technologies developed here. Also a lot of Canadian talent ends up in the US. Yes, it’s cold but a full moon on a crisp winters night with a roaring campfire is just the best…

Santa Claus lives at the north pole. He is Canadian.

I immigrated to Canada from the UK back in 1995 and I am still here because I like it :) Always loved this country for it's easy acceptance of other cultures, the friendliness of people here and the fact that it is really safe and free of the kind of problems we see on the other side of the border. Apart from anything else the scenery around Vancouver where I live is nothing short of spectacular. I could go on about all the reasons I like Canada but that would be like writing book.

We have also contributed to medical science with the discovery of insulin. If I'm not mistaken, the first radio was developed by a Canadian, as well! And we love Ryan Reynolds! He was just given the Order of Canada! He helps a lot of people...

I am a first-generation Canadian, and I am eternally grateful that my family chose to come to Canada and were welcomed here. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!!!

France has a set of colony islands just off the coast of Newfoundland, it's a short ferry ride to St-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Where they drive french cars and use the Euro currency.

Canada (Saskatchewan) was the 'birthplace' of universal or national Healthcare in the British commonwealth.
Virtually all commonwealth countries adopted a version of the Healthcare system originally introduced in Saskatchewan during ' the great depression ' - most shortly after WWII.

You failed to mention that the official bi-lingual (English and French) status of Canada was the result of the fact that when the English defeated the French in the 1760s they agreed that the French area of Canada (which eventually became Quebec) was allowed to retain their unique culture: language, legal customs, religion, etc. This has remained a significant feature of Canada - Quebec as a "distinct society", and the willingness to tolerate different cultures within the Canadian framework.

[aidanwotherspoon]

Great Slave Lake is not “unfortunately named” it’s a Dene word that’s not etymologically related to the word for persons being held as property for forced labour

[connietalbot]

We in Canada say our country is SEA TO SEA TO SEA..❤❤❤

[palladini]

There is in the Beachville Ont museum, a score card from a Baseball game played about 6 years before they say that guy in the USA invented it

[Tdawwg]

Canada holds approximately 20% of the world's surface freshwater.

Canada also has more lakes than the rest of the world combined, with over 2 million

[rogertulk]

Canada has free hospital care, clinic visits and doctor visits, however these programs are administered by the provinces and vary slightly from Province to province. There's been talk of starting a pharmacy Care Program and there are such programs for seniors and poor people.

UN Peacekeeping was invented in 1956 by Canadian Lester B. Pearson along with UN secretary-general Dag Hammarskjöld. It was a solution to the Suez Crisis, and Pearson's actions led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 1957.
