Overview
About Canada
Canada is the second-largest country on earth and most of it is empty, which is rather the point. The Rockies around Banff and Jasper hold the images people arrive for: lakes coloured an improbable turquoise by glacial rock flour, sitting under grey peaks.
The cities are strung along the southern border and differ sharply from one another. Vancouver sits between mountains and sea, Toronto on a lake, and Montreal and Quebec City are French-speaking with a European street pattern to match.
