Canada and America

Canada and America are very similar, yet so very different. Both countries have flaws and good things about them. They are very different yet so alike. Canada and America are friends, I guess you could say. They shared the longest unprotected border for years, it was 5522 feet long.

Canada is a bilingual country, which means they speak two different languages. Canadians speak French and English. They speak French because of their French ancestors who lived in the area now known as Quebec. They speak English because of their British ancestors who settled there. America is a unilingual country, they only speak English. They speak English because like in Canada, they were ruled for Britain as colonies for a long time until they got fed up with Britain and started a war with Brittan.

Both Canada and America are part of NAFTA. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade agreement. Mexico is also part of this agreement. It lets merchandise and products go freely through the countries by trade. NAFTA has been in place for a long time, since 1997.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy, they have provinces and territories, it is colder there and they have less people. Canada has about 32 million people. America is a representative democracy; they have states, are warmer in some places, and have a lot more people. America has about 292 million people. Some similarities are that they both speak English, they share some physical features, and they fought together in some wars.

Canada and America are very similar. Economically, America was bigger before, but physically Canada is bigger. Their similar physical features are the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, and the British owned them at one point, well, this is still true for Canada, and they both achieved great things. Both started as colonies ruled by Britain. Both countries are truly great.
