Canada is – with the exception of Alaska – the northern part of the North American continent. In area it is the world’s second largest country (almost 10 million km2) – while the population is around 33 million (2010), which means that people in many parts of the country live relatively scattered. Canada is administratively divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories.
The capital is Ottawa (ca.825 000 inhabitants), but more cities are bigger – including Toronto (the largest), Montreal and Calgary.Other important cities are Québec and Vancouver.
