Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 regions. Below the province, there are cities, towns, villages, etc., and some provinces have the organizational system of counties. The provinces are located in the south and the regions are in the north. The first is Ottawa.
Ottawa: The capital, Ottawa, is located on the gentle rolling hills and valley plains on the south bank of the Ottawa River. It has an urban area of ??110 square kilometers and a population of more than 310,000. The large urban area includes Hull and more than 70 surrounding villages and towns. The population is more than 920,000. Winters are cold and summers are warm. The average temperature is -11℃ in January and 21℃ in July. It is snowy in winter. This was originally a place where Indians lived. It was established as a city in 1855. In 1857 Ottawa became the capital of the Canadian province. Ottawa is the center of Canadian political life. Various government departments are concentrated in the city, and government agency workers account for 40% of the employed population. The industries are mainly paper making, wood, printing, publishing, food, clothing and other industries. The service industry is developed. There are hundreds of industrial companies related to microelectronics and information technology from the city center to the western suburbs, and the tourism industry is developed. The Rideau Canal divides the urban area into upper town and lower town, with 10 bridges in between. There are many British people in the upper city, and more French people in the lower city. Spark Street and Rideau Street are the main commercial areas. The main buildings in the urban area are the Parliament Building, the Federal Government Building, the Archives, the War Museum, the National Gallery, etc. Newfoundland and Labrador: The easternmost province of Canada, consisting of the mainland Labrador region and Newfoundland and other islands. Fishing and seafood processing are traditional industries in the province. After 1763, Newfoundland and Labrador returned to British jurisdiction until the establishment of the Parliamentary Government in 1832. However, local people voted against the proposal to join the Canadian Union in 1869. It was not until 1949 that it joined the federation and became the tenth province. On December 6, 2001, the province of Newfoundland was renamed Newfoundland and Labrador. British Columbia: the province of British Columbia. Located on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, it is an important gateway for Canada's trade with Asia. Chinese account for about 1/3 of Vancouver’s population. Nunavut: It means "our land" in Inuktitut. Established on April 1, 1999, this is the largest administrative adjustment in the country in the 50 years since Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Since the 1970s, Inuit leaders have been working to form a government of their own. Among the new regional population, Inuit are the dominant ethnic group, the government is also managed by Inuit, and the working language is Inuit. Fishery Center - Atlantic Coast Provinces: including Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
The Atlantic Provinces are a unique region of Canada. Because of its location, it was an early gateway to the New World. Here is Newfoundland, the oldest British colony, and Port Royal in Nova Scotia, the earliest North American settlement established by the French. Early economic development was mainly oriented to the sea, and its rich fish resources made it the fishing center of Canada. Modern economic development is slow. Due to poor natural conditions, transportation is inconvenient. It is generally thought that this has become a difficult area of ??Canada. At present, the economy is dominated by agriculture, forestry, mining, and fishery, and industry is weak. Marine fisheries play an important role in the country, and wood processing and papermaking are common. Agriculture is limited to coastal and river valley plains, and most products are only for local consumption. There are no big cities. Except for Nova Scotia, which has a relatively good industrial base, the Atlantic coast provinces are still mainly dependent on a single product: fish from Newfoundland, potatoes from Prince Edward Island, and lumber from New Brunswick. New Brunswick: It is the second largest province on the Atlantic coast. 67% of the population speaks English and 33% of the population speaks French. It is a typical bilingual province. Quebec (largest area, French cultural center): Quebec has the largest area among the 10 Canadian provinces, covering an area of ??more than 1.54 million square kilometers. However, 84% of its land is in the cold north, and the sub-harsh environment is very unsuitable for human settlement. The high mountains of the Appalachian Mountains in the south also restrict human development. Only 12% of Quebec's land, the St. Lawrence Lowlands, is settled. But it is this small 12% that makes Quebec occupy an extremely important position in the country.
Québec's industry is dominated by sectors that are labor-intensive and based on natural raw materials. The pulp and paper industry is the most prominent, but food, textiles, aluminum smelting, aircraft, transportation machinery, etc. are also not inferior. Montreal, Quebec, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, Becomeau, etc. constitute one of the most important manufacturing centers in the country. Due to historical reasons, Quebec shows its own major cultural characteristics - French culture dominates. The province has the highest concentration of French-speaking people in Canada, with 82% of the population speaking French. This language difference gave the province a strong tendency towards independence. Quebec held two referendums on the issue of Quebec independence in 1980 and 1995, both of which failed. 80% of the population here is of French descent, and French is the official language of the province.
