Canada
Canada is the world’s second largest country after Russia. It is simply enormous, measuring almost 4 million square miles, or nearly 10 million square kilometres in area and has more lakes and inland waters than any other country. Some of the lakes are so huge that you can stand on the shore and imagine you are standing at the edge of an ocean. The provinces are so vast that it can take over 24 hours to drive from one border to the next. And all this space is home to around 32 million people, little more than half the population of the United Kingdom. #travel #canada #information #area

Canada
Canada has two official languages: English and French. Approximately 58% of people speak English only, 22% French only, 17% speak both and the remaining 3% speak various aboriginal languages. Quebec has a strong French-speaking identity and distinguishes its culture from the English Canadian culture. Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest nations and one of the top ten trading nations. The major importers of Canadian goods are the USA, UK and Japan. The country’s natural resources, such as oil and timber, provide its inhabitants with an enviable standard of living. #travel #information

Manitoba
In the north is Hudson Bay, where you can see polar bears and beluga whales, or some of the 300 species of birds. There are 110,000 lakes in Manitoba, which are perfect for fishing, hiking, or just photographing. The city of Winnipeg is steeped in history and was once the centre of the fur trade. It offers 30 museums and 100 ethnically varied restaurants. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Winnipeg Art Gallery add to the cultural experience of Manitoba’s capital city. #travel #canada #manitoba #hundsonbay #lakes

British Columbia
Vancouver was voted the best city in the world to live in by its residents, and Victoria on Vancouver Island is charmingly reminiscent of British Victorian Colonial life. The train called “the Rocky Mountaineer” runs daily through the Rockies – a spectacular journey that gives you the chance to take some beautiful photos from the observation cars. Go whale watching from Victoria, or visit a winery in the Okanagan Valley; ski at Whistler, or learn about the “gold rush” in Barkerville; #travel #canada #vancouver #us

Getting Around
Again there is so much choice that it is a matter of personal preference whether to fly, drive yourself or take a bus or a train. Air Canada is the largest carrier and flies to 150 destinations in the country. Westjet is a low cost airline based in Calgary and flying to cities throughout Canada.Porter Airlines flies mainly in eastern Canada, and a number of small local airlines serve remote destinations.VIA Rail Canada offer some awesome trips, such as the sleeper trains called “The Canadian” (Toronto to Vancouver), “The Ocean” (Montreal to Nova Scotia along the St Lawrence River) #travel

Where to Stay
In addition to the worldwide brands, Canada and the US have a number of hotel chains that European travellers may not have heard of, but which have hotels all over the country. Best Value Inn and Lexington by Vantage have over 1,000 hotels in North America; Omni Hotels and Resorts only have 60 hotels, but they number 21,000 rooms between them; and La Quinta Inns and suites has 84,600 rooms to let. Perhaps in this country of the great outdoors, the thing to do is rent a motorhome (called an “RV” in North America) and head off into the wilderness. #travel #canada #hotels #us
