Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia, but only has a population of around 32,268,000. You would think that Brazil, China and U.S.A would all be bigger, but they are not. The reason why Canada is not so strong on the population front is because it is a cold country. Which is also quite mountainous. Meaning that are only certain areas of the country that people can live in, mainly on the southern borders of the country. Around the lakes of Erie, Ontario and in the River Valley of St.Lawrence. While in the north of the country lie the bleak Arctic islands where the population is low. In the winter the temperatures in the majority of the country are normally below freezing point, apart from the south-western coast of Canada where normally the temperatures are quite mild. This also means that as Canada is quite close to the Arctic circle or North pole that for several months of the year the country is normally cold. Canada is well known for the Rocky mountains and the Pacific ranges. In some parts of Canada, the country can expect very heavy rainful anything from 10 inches to 20 inches within a year and pretty much every year even though the Prairies often stay dry.
