It's the widest nation of the world after Russia, is great around 33 times more than Italy, but it has halves the Italian population and therefore a density of only 3 abs / kmq.
Big zones, especially to the north, are practically uninhabited. It's the nation of the great spaces and the great distances; of the immense forests and of the great lakes; of the snow for many months a year and of the prickly cold.
It's beautiful nation, civil, pacific, cleaning up and very pleasant; it is the kingdom of the uncontaminated nature, but also of the modern and futuristic cities as Toronto and Vancouver or of beautiful historical centers as Quebec City and Ottawa.
Who wants to discover the greatness of the nature he cannot give up crossing the Icefields Parkway on the Rocky Mountains between Jasper and Banff, or visiting the Falls of the Niagara, or crossing the great north covered by the snow and by the ices.
