 * Canada and the United States of America **

Canada and the United States of America are two countries that are located in the northwestern hemisphere. They both are very large in size, with Canada being the world’s 2nd largest country and the United States being the 4th. As we all know Canada and the United States of America are not the same country, but they are similar in some ways. Some ways that they are similar could be their language, people, economy, and land. Though they are not exactly the same in those areas, there are many differences between the two nations.

Language is a very big part in the two nations. In Canada, about one-forth of the people speak French and the other three-forth mostly speak English. French and English are the major languages of Canada. This makes Canada a bilingual country. On the other hand, the United States are not a bilingual country. The main language of the United States is English. You can also hear Spanish and some other languages there. In the United States only about 1 person out of 20 can speak French fluently.

People are a very big part also. These two countries have a rich mix of cultures. Thirty-two million people call Canada home. Two hundred ninety-two million people live in the United States. In Canada there is a large population of people with a European heritage. In America about three-forth of the people have a European heritage. So they are different in population, but they are alike in heritage.

Economy is also very important. The two both have abundant natural resources and plenty of workers. They are two of the most successful countries in the world. Canada’s national and provincial governments provide health care for citizens, while farms in the United States produce about one-half of the world’s corn and one-tenth of its wheat. The two countries both have many skilled workers and operate under the free enterprise system. The free enterprise system is when individuals or groups control businesses and industries.

Canada and the United States of America are alike in a lot of ways, but they also are very different. The two are very successful countries. They also are very important countries in our world. They need each other for a lot of things. No one could live without them.
