Canada is a country that occupies most of Northern America and extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It is the world's second largest country by total area.
Originally inhabited by aboriginal people, Canada was occupied by British and French expeditions in the 15th century.
Although Canada is quite large in area it has low population density. This might be because it gets quite cold in Canada. Average winter and summer temperatures across Canada vary depending upon the location. Interior locations face harsh winters where the daily average temperatures are near -15 °C but can drop below -40 °C. On the east and west coast average high temperatures are generally low, around 20 °C.
Canadian culture has historically been influenced by aboriginal, British and French culture. It has also been influenced culturally by America owing to their proximity.
