  Territories and Provinces
  Politically, Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories.
  The constitution also indicates what provinces are a part of Canada and what the powers those provinces have.
  Territories on the other hand are created by Federal Law. That means the territories have a bit less power than the provinces.

  Climate
  • Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but in reality, its climate is as diverse as its landscape. 
  Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border.
  Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall.

  Chinese's food.
  It is "impossible" to choose a single national dish, because of their broad diversity of ethnic populations and cultures.
  Along the Atlantic coast, seafood and dishes derived from English traditions (except in Quebec) are common. In Quebec, favorite foods come from the area's French heritage.
  Throughout Canada, maple syrup and maple products are popular, reflecting the significance of the maple tree, whose leaf adorns the flag of Canada.
  Many families enjoy a visit in early spring to a maple sugar "shack," the special rustic building where sap from maple trees is boiled in a large open pan to make maple syrup.
