History of Canada

       Canada was found when Christopher Columbus found the America's in 1442.  It was obviously around before then but that's when it started off.  As of  July 2011, there are 34,000,000 people ion Canada. Today Canada is America's number one trade partner.  One thing that had a big impact on Canada today is WWI.  Because this showed that Canada was no small player in the world.  Canada is pretty powerful today economically.  As I said before they are the United states' biggest trading partner.  And they are very well known for transporting fresh food.  Their GDP per capita as of 2012 is almost $26,000 USD; and their unemployment rate is about 7.2 as of summer 2012.  One Canadian dollar equals 1.0133 U.S. dollars, so we're pretty equal.  AS of November 2011, Canada's CPI was about -0.58 %.  99% of Canada can read and write.  they have good education much like America's.  Canada is a a parliamentary democracy, a federation, and a constitutional monarchy.  Canada has been affected by everything that has happened in the past.  And one small change could make them a totally different country today, we can't know for sure.  Canada affects the U.S. a great amount, we trade with them a lot more than people think.
