Now Canada is a federal state consisting of 10 provinces and 2 territories. In the east, the four maritime (Atlantic) provinces are Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Quebec and Ontario are Canada’s two largest provinces, situated in central Canada. The three prairie provinces of western Canada are Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Canada's Pacific province is British Columbia. The territories are the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territory.

The population of 27 mln lives only in 1/3 of Canada, besides it's very thinly spread – 2 people per sq km. Most Canadians live close to the USA, within 160 km of the USA border.

Canada is an independent constitutional monarchy and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The monarch of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is also the monarch of Canada and is represented in the country by the office of governor-general. Power on the federal level is exercised by the Canadian Parliament and the cabinet of ministers, headed by the Prime Minister. The Parliament has two houses: the Senate and the House of Commons. There are generally 105 senators, apportioned among the provinces and appointed by the governor-general upon the advice of the Prime Minister.

Canada's current flag was proclaimed in 1965, in the centre there is a red sugar maple leaf, the side bars represent the ocean boundaries, the colour is not blue, meaning independence from Great Britain and France.

Canada is very rich in forest, minerals and fur-bearing animals. It holds the first place in the world in the amount of forests. It is rich in the following natural resources: non-ferrous metals, uranium, oil, natural gas, coal. Canadian industries produce cars, airliners, locomotives, sea vessels, snow-removal machines, and agricultural equipment. The most developed industries are timber, mining, chemical, meat and milk and food industries. Canada grows wheat, barley, flax, potatoes, vegetables and fruit. Fishing is also one of the prosperous industries.

Canada is a good example of the way peoples of different ways of life and different languages can live side by side under one government. There are many Indians, Pacistanis and Chinese, and also blacks from the USA, among the immigrants who are pouring into Canada now.

Canada's culture draws influences from its broad range of constituent nationalities, and policies that promote multiculturalism are constitutionally protected.
