Canada’s great for people who like it, because there’s absolutely loads of it. The country is the second largest in the world (behind Russia), measuring nearly ten million square kilometres. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, think of this: you could fit the United Kingdom into Canada over
40 times. It would take you over
four years to walk its coastline, if you ever felt like doing that. The city of St John’s in Newfoundland (east coast) is actually closer to London than it is to Vancouver (west coast). Wood Buffalo National Park is bigger than the Netherlands. To make everything a bit more manageable, Canada is divided into thirteen parts (ten ‘provinces’ and three ‘territories’). Just take the country one piece at a time.
