Oh Canada Canada holds productivity through its natural beauty. As a result, the economy of Canada is a major producer in a variety of items exported to the world. This couldn’t be done without its resources that expand throughout the country. Some global economy advantages aided by Canada include its staple exports of tree-related products such as paper and timber from abundant forests. The immense bodies of water adjacent with Canada provide for a prominent commercial fishing industry that catches popular and plentiful fish such as salmon and cod exported to the world. The hydroelectricity produced by its rivers help collect substantial amounts of energy to provide for the world supply. Along with hydroelectricity, Canada’s natural coasts and waterways aid for shipping ports to major …show more content…
As a result, the price index of natural resources has increased dramatically as both of these emerging large Asian economies require raw materials to produce manufactured goods. Therefore, as Canada begins to take a stronghold within two major countries, its supply and demand will drizzle to peripheral countries such as Japan that cannot produce the abundance of resources that Canada can due to its large population, comparing Canada’s roomy 7 people per square mile to Japan’s crowded 836 densely populated country. Japan needs natural resources such as wheats, which they buy 5 million tons a year of, as they will not purchase American wheat because of the possibility of GMOs. Wheat demand is also growing faster than ever in not just Asian, but African countries as well. Due to Canada's large prairie provinces, the supply could be met by this countries primary farm production and beat out Australia as the number two global wheat
In 2015, Canada’s natural resource exports were valued at $231 billion with Canada ranking among the top 3 producers globally for Potash (1st), uranium (2nd) and (3rd) aluminum (Government of Canada). An addition, is that the forest sector directly accounts for around 20% of the income in the 171 municipalities across Canada (Central Intelligence Agency). The 3 industry sectors, primary, secondary and tertiary all began from resources found and made from the country’s landscape. These resources are either sold primarily, or are then manufactured or turned into forms of services which result in trade. Therefore, the basic fundamental for any industry and trade is the landscape of the country.
Canada currently has a highly developed economy in which the different regions contribute to it in different ways. However, if the regions were to separate, their economies may be difficult to develop and sustain. For example in Atlantic Canada, their distinct region is located beside the Atlantic Ocean, which makes their economy heavily reliant on the fishery
Due to the vast physical diversity in our country, there are many different natural resources available ranging from oil to fish to minerals. Canada is number 4 on the list of countries with the most natural resources; it has 33.2 trillion dollars worth of natural resources. The interior plains have a rich source of salt, oil and natural gas. The revenue from oil was about 2.5 billion dollars in 2016 in Alberta. The Great Lakes-St.Lawrence Lowlands has an industry of hydroelectricity and agriculture. The soil is very rich and good for farming. The great lakes and the St. Lawrence River also provides a source of fish and fresh water which is exported. Hudson Bay and Arctic Lowlands has a lot of different kinds of natural resources (e.g., forestry, hydroelectricity and natural gas) due to the physical diversity. Most of the economy in this region comes from mining ( over 100 million dollars in revenues). It’s very important for us to try to preserve the physical diversity of our country because as we can see our economy is greatly affected by it. We have most of our natural resources because of how different our land is in
Although, according to my research “Northeastern Canada has, per unit of surface area, more flowing water than almost anywhere else on the globe.” Due to the numerous rivers that flow into the James Bay and Hudson Bay, this can potentially increase economic growth. Since 1963, the plans of this project were started. The mission was to reconstruct the natural waterways into the dams and reservoirs to produce electric power for Canada and New England.
Issaquah, Washington is located in King County. Known for its rapidly growing suburb, Issaquah was ranked 2nd in the entire state of Washington and 89th in the nation. It was also ranked 6th out of 279 for population growth between the years of 2000 and 2005.
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
I have to say that today’s discussion was pretty much interesting. I heard a lot of stories from my classmates.
Since Canada has many different geographical features it makes lots of different resources. Because of our climate we can produce many different types of vegetation for trade. There are also many different landforms which contribute to our vast array of
Hydroelectricity is created and sent out to the U.S. One of the biggest hydroelectric plants in the world is close James Bay. Québec creates more than 33% of Canada's paper pulp and paper items including paper, newsprint, boxes, tissue, and cardboard. Lumber is utilized to make furniture and to construct homes. The area is Canada's principle maker of maple syrup. The principle cultivating zone is the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The dairy business is one of the biggest in Canada. Raising hogs, cattle and poultry and growing hay, corn, and oats for animals are imperative farming exercises. All sorts of leafy foods are developed in southern Québec. Manufacturing includes the aerospace industry, airplane and passenger trains, PC and electronic items. Pharmaceuticals is another main industry in
Canada 's unique geographical location and its harsh weather conditions, requires extra use of energy to keep the houses warm."[Moreover we have to transport goods, to far of places including territories, therefore as a result we use extensive amount of fuel for the transportation purposes]" (Energy, Statistic Canada). "[Per capita consumption of electric power in Canada was 16,473.16 kWh in 2011. In 2010 Canada’s average energy consumption was, 41% from petroleum, 31% from natural gas and 1% consumption from coal]" (Energy, Statistic Canada). We produce about 65 million metric tons of coal each year but, consume 50 percent of it and the remaining is exported to many countries of Asia, including Japan and South Korea (ILC 2007, CGW4UA, U2, L10, P 24). As per Statistic Canada our total consumption of energy was divided as: "34% of the energy was consumed by transportation. Residential and Agricultural sector consumed 20%. Manufacturing 19%, whereas mining, oil and gas extractions consumed 10% of the energy. Moreover 74% of the total energy consumed was in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta and Quebec. Canada produces 3 million barrels of oil, and consumes 2.2 million of it" (Energy, Statistic Canada). The rest is exported to the United States for sale. Furthermore Canada has cross border trade of electricity with the US and it exports "30 billion kWh of electricity" (ILC 2007, CGW4UA, U2, L10, P 25).
The city that I chose to discuss about is Ottawa, Ontario. Ottawa is located 99km north of the southern border and is in Southeastern Ontario. The longitudes and latitudes of Ottawa is 42.42 degrees north and 75.69 degrees west.
Canada (/ˈkænədə/ (About this sound listen); French: [kanadɑ]) is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98 million square kilometres (3.85 million square miles), making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's southern border with the United States is the world's longest bi-national land border. The majority of the country has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains. It is highly
Canada is a resource processing country, and many of its products take important positions over the world. Canada is also a technology intensive country with advanced technology and equipment of industry and agriculture and high labor productivity. There are more than 15 million people in its labor force, the respectively proportion of
With a population of over 30 million Canada is one of the world’s largest and strongest economies. Canada has a highly educated skilled labor force and a reputation as a successful trading nation. In the past 20 years Canada’s Economy has only had a negative outcome twice. Canada is known as a mixed economy, and it is one of the suppliers of the agricultural products in the world. The economy is open to global commerce and supported by a high degree of regulatory efficiency. Trade is important to Canada’s economy, the value of exports and imports taken together equals 65 percent of Gross Domestic Product. Free trade is embraced in Canada because both business and consumers get great exposure to economic and social prosperity. In Canada there are 3 levels of government, each level has different responsibilities. Federal Government is responsible for things that affect the whole country,
In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
